An extraordinary opportunity to reimagine an iconic commercial property in the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Located on Dolores Street just six buildings southwest of Ocean Avenue, the former China Arts Center offers a remarkable setting for a music venue and recording studio, private club, art gallery, luxury showroom, creative headquarters, or other distinctive destination. Conceptual renderings illustrate the range of possibilities for the property and the scale of what could be created. Significant groundwork has already been completed, including comprehensive interior demolition, architectural planning, substantial permitting work, and a major PG&E electrical service upgrade currently underway. Planning-approved plans contemplate approximately 1,172 square feet of reinstated second-floor space, along with a proposed outdoor terrace, and a rooftop deck with elevator access. Currently vacant and ready for redevelopment, this is a rare opportunity to bring a bold new vision to one of Carmels most prominent downtown locations, subject to applicable approvals.
