Overview

This offering presents an investment and redevelopment opportunity featuring four adjacent properties located in a desirable area of Athens, Ohio. The properties are situated within walking distance of the Ohio University campus, offering close proximity to the campus, historic Court Street, and the OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital complex. The location also provides access to the city bus line, making it suitable for tenants or redevelopment plans. Encompassing 6,746 square feet, the properties are zoned for multi-family use and are not located in a floodplain. The site benefits from two existing curb cuts off Union Street and ATO. The properties are positioned for long-term rental income with improvements or a complete tear-down and new construction, subject to city permits. Opportunities to acquire multiple side-by-side properties near campus and uptown Athens are rare, presenting a chance to invest, reimagine, or redevelop in a sought-after area.
