A gas station will be going into the corner of Castillo and Montecito streets in Santa Barbara, where a “sold” sign appears on the vacant parcel.

The owner of Conserv Fuel at 150 S La Cumbre Road has bought the 12,632-square-foot property, according to Austin Herlihy of Radius Commercial Real Estate & Investments.

The corner parcel beside Santa Cruz Market has been vacant the past dozen or so years since an Arco station shut down for contamination problems, said Herlihy, who knew no time frame for construction of the new station.

The Conserv Fuel owner could not be reached for comment.
