Former Rite Aid | Freestanding 16k SF | Owner/User

Description:

21738 Highway 18 presents the opportunity to acquire a freestanding 16,804 SF retail building situated on approximately 1.80 acres in the Apple Valley submarket of San Bernardino County. The property is located along CA-18 (Happy Trails Highway), one of the primary east–west commercial corridors serving the Victor Valley region, providing strong visibility, signage exposure, and convenient access for customers, employees, and delivery traffic.

Originally constructed in 1999, the building was previously occupied by Rite Aid and features a functional single-tenant retail layout, ample parking (67 spaces), and a large parcel suitable for a wide variety of commercial uses including medical, grocery, retail, showroom, service retail, or owner-user occupancy. The property is zoned Village Specific Plan – District 1 (Village Core), providing flexibility for retail and commercial uses within Apple Valley’s established commercial environment.

Apple Valley serves as a key commercial hub within the Victor Valley region, benefiting from its strategic location along major transportation routes connecting the Inland Empire with Las Vegas and the broader Southwest. Businesses in the area benefit from lower operating costs compared to coastal Southern California markets while still maintaining access to the region’s growing population base and logistics corridors along Interstate 15.

The surrounding trade area consists of a mix of service retail, automotive uses, light industrial facilities, and neighborhood-serving businesses, supporting demand from both investors and owner-occupants seeking functional commercial space with highway exposure. With strong frontage along Highway 18 and proximity to established residential neighborhoods, the property offers an attractive opportunity for owner-users, regional operators, or investors pursuing repositioning strategies in the High Desert market.
