Improved Residential Land for Sale in Santa Fe, New Mexico
Santa Fe County, Santa Fe, NM 87501
The Alvord School represents one of the most significant redevelopment opportunities in Santa Fe's urban core. The +/-2.9-acre infill parcel sits directly adjacent to the Santa Fe Railyard, the city's premier mixed-use cultural district. The existing +/-30,760 sf building, originally built in 1931 and expanded several times through the 1970s, offers uncommon flexibility within the highly permissive Business Capital District (BCD) zoning designation. Extensive entitlements-including the Alvord Master Plan, archaeological clearance, and pre-reviewed infrastructure-substantially reduce planning risk and development timelines. This parcel's size, location, zoning, and entitlement status collectively position The Alvord School as a rare opportunity for hospitality, residential, mixed-use, institutional, medical, or educational redevelopment. Business Capital District Zoning (BCD) One of Santa Fe's most flexible zoning categories permits:, Hotel / Hospitality, Office / Medical / Dental, Educational facilities, Nonprofit or institutional headquarters, Residential: multifamily, condominiums, live/work, Retail, cafe, restaurant, service commercial, Cultural uses: museums, galleries, performing arts, Religious and assembly use.
