For auto dealer groups, owner-users, and investors looking to acquire or lease real estate in Southern California, the following seven properties span some of the region's most established automotive corridors — from Carson's auto row to the Orange County auto mall, the San Gabriel Valley, and Long Beach.
2403 E 223rd St, Carson, CA 90810 — $9,685,538 (Land For Sale or Lease)
This 4.20-acre site (182,746 SF) sits within Carson's established auto dealer row, adjacent to other new-vehicle dealership operations with freeway frontage visibility. The site permits auto dealer sales, service, and rental/leasing of automobiles, RVs, trucks, and motorcycles, and includes low business license fees specific to this corridor, EV charging station potential, and adjacency to a utility substation. The site is also available for lease at $67,000/month (NNN) for buyers or tenants who prefer not to purchase outright.
2009 E 223rd St, Carson, CA 90810 — $14,000,000 (For Sale)
A 40,488 SF freestanding building on a 2.87-acre lot (124,800 SF), well suited for an auto dealer sales and service operation. The building includes 12 offices totaling 8,400 SF of office space, one 14'x18' grade-level door, one 9'x9' dock-high door, 15' clear height, and full HVAC. The site offers roughly 400 parking spaces, a fenced and paved yard, and is offered vacant, giving a buyer flexibility to move in an existing operation or repurpose the space.
1425-1450 Auto Mall Dr, Santa Ana, CA 92705 — $35,098,873 (For Sale)
An exclusive offering of two trophy automotive dealership properties totaling 61,181 SF, 100% NNN leased through December 2029 with three five-year renewal options and non-cumulative CPI increases capped at 12.50% every five years. Backed by a corporately guaranteed lease from a leading national auto retailer, this is a stable, long-term cash-flow investment opportunity rather than an owner-user purchase, with 404 parking spaces on a 2.62-acre lot.
11705 Valley Blvd, El Monte, CA 91732 — $95,000/Month (For Lease)
An 89,792 SF building with 53,904 SF currently available, offering a functional layout with showroom, office, and service-capable areas supporting a range of automotive uses. Built in 2006, the property includes 350 parking spaces and is available on a 30-day possession timeline.
10325 Central Ave, Montclair, CA 91763 — $35,000/Month (For Lease)
A high-image auto dealership building totaling 15,498 SF, featuring a well-maintained sales office, showroom, and multi-bay service department, with parking for over 300 cars. An additional contiguous 1.39 acres of improved land is also available for lease alongside the building.
7015 Knott Ave, Buena Park, CA 90620 — $74,999/Month (For Sublease)
A 14,911 SF automotive dealership building available for sublease through January 2028, situated on a 4.42-acre lot (192,448 SF). The property is currently vacant and available for immediate possession.
3930-3940 Cherry Ave, Long Beach, CA 90807 — $22,000,000 (Land For Sale or Lease)
A prime 5.16-acre redevelopment or owner-user opportunity in Long Beach, with three buildings totaling 34,342 SF situated on the land. LBIM zoning allows a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and auto uses, making this a strong candidate for a dealer group looking to build out a custom facility rather than adapt an existing one. Two tenants remain on site under leases through January and March 2027, and the property will be delivered vacant. The site is paved, lit, and fenced, with water, gas, electric, sewer, and fiber all available. Lease terms are negotiable for buyers or tenants who prefer not to purchase outright.
Why These Markets for Auto Dealers
Carson's auto row, the Santa Ana/Orange County auto mall, the San Gabriel Valley, and Long Beach's industrial corridors are all recognized, established markets with existing dealer infrastructure and customer bases already conditioned to shop there. For a dealer group expanding its footprint, acquiring or leasing real estate within an existing auto corridor — or securing flexible-use land for a custom build — is often the more efficient path to a stabilized operation
