The two lots

Both lots are zoned C-1 and classed as urban land. The lot at 494 covers 925 m2, with 822 m2 of built area on the tax roll; the lot at 496 covers 539 m2, with 572 m2 built. The seller had bought them in May 2008, 494 for $1,150,000 and 496 for $130,000, $1,280,000 in all, so the price is 48% more than it paid 18 years earlier. The tax roll's $1,150,000 for 494 is the same figure as its 2008 price.

A restaurant at 494, offices at 496

The permit file places La Esquina Gastro Bar at 494 Calle Sirio: its single permit as a restaurant with retail alcohol sales was approved on October 6, 2026, a month after the sale, and the bar has held permits for Christmas events at the address since 2022. The file for 496 shows office uses, most recently a medical office, with a single-permit sub-filing approved in December 2025. A single permit bundles the use permit and the other authorizations a business needs to operate.
