Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property includes an existing steel-constructed former auto repair shop of approximately 1,635 square feet. It is suited for redevelopment due to its established commercial site improvements and the flexibility of the underlying zoning. Flexible options include proceeding with an approved plan for a flex building, or pursuing an alternate residential pathway subject to city confirmation.

The development site is located in Portland’s East Bayside neighborhood and provides immediate access to I-295, downtown Portland, and Munjoy Hill. Land-use planning is active for this parcel, with site plan approvals already in place for a flex building, supporting a more straightforward development timeline.

Zoned B-5 (Urban Commercial), the property is positioned to support a dense mix of commercial, low-impact industrial, and residential uses, subject to City of Portland requirements. For prospective tenants, the approved flex building concept aligns with light industrial or service-oriented commercial uses. For buyers and developers, the combination of existing structure, active approvals, and B-5 zoning provides a practical platform to design and market either a flex-oriented project or a mixed-use residential concept, with residential unit counts to be confirmed with the city.
