CalculatePrime Development Opportunity in Little Forest Hills – 8656 San Benito Way
Located in the heart of vibrant Little Forest Hills, 8656 San Benito Way presents a rare opportunity for builders, developers, or investors to bring their vision to life. This oversized corner lot offers exceptional dimensions—approximately 92 feet wide at the rear, 156 feet along Sanford Avenue, and 121 feet on San Benito Way—creating the perfect canvas for new construction.
The existing structure is likely a tear-down, offering a clean slate for redevelopment. (Valued in the land not the structure) According to preliminary conversations with the city, the lot may be eligible for subdivision, pending verification based on neighboring buildings. This opens the door to endless possibilities, whether you're envisioning multiple custom homes or a single statement residence with expansive outdoor living.
Set in the sought-after and eclectic Little Forest Hills neighborhood, known for its artistic charm, walkability, and close-knit community, the property is just minutes from White Rock Lake, the Dallas Arboretum, and a variety of dining, shopping, and outdoor recreation options.
Opportunities like this don’t come around often—secure your footprint in one of East Dallas’s most character-rich communities.
