Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

The property at 53 Thames St consists of General Commercial (GC) zoned land with an existing single-story service bay structure of approximately 1,595 square feet. The site is improved with functional dockage and includes on-site parking, creating a ready-to-operate waterfront setup for an owner-operator or developer. The property is being offered as-is only.

The parcel provides direct Thames River frontage along Groton’s historic commercial corridor. The public remarks indicate that direct riverfront parcel sales along Thames Street are scarce, with only three direct riverfront parcels trading in the past twelve months. The offering is free and clear of active tenancy, allowing for immediate flexibility in how the site is planned and executed.

Because the land is GC zoned and already supports a service-bay building and dockage, the site may fit users seeking waterfront-oriented operations or entities planning a redevelopment aligned with the corridor’s commercial character. The combination of river access, existing on-site improvements, and absence of active tenancy can support a range of owner-user, development, or investor strategies. Prospective buyers should review site conditions and intended use under GC zoning as part of their due diligence, noting the property is offered as-is only.

Key Highlights

  • Direct Thames River frontage on the historic Groton commercial corridor at 53 Thames Street
  • Approximately 24,829 SF of General Commercial (GC) zoned land
  • Includes an existing 1,595 SF single‑story service bay structure
