Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This high-visibility corner lot offers two existing structures available at closing: a 1,440-square-foot retail/office building and a 2,400-square-foot pole building. The property is positioned for either straightforward occupancy in the current buildings or for a redevelopment approach if you have a new concept in mind.

Located on US-31 at the intersection of US-31S and Foster Dr., the site benefits from maximum exposure. Public remarks note a traffic count of over 25,000 cars per day, and the corner configuration is designed to keep your business visible from multiple directions. The property sits within Blair Township’s CM zoning, which supports a large variety of commercial uses.

For investors and operators, this is a practical option when you need a prominent location with versatile zoning and usable existing improvements.
