Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 2.89-acre development site is located in North Asheville within the Reynolds Mountain / Merrimon Avenue corridor. This area is characterized by constrained supply and high demand. The Asheville metro area is experiencing in-migration, population growth, and employment expansion, which is driving demand for residential, mixed-use, hospitality, medical, and neighborhood retail development. Buncombe County has a limited supply of entitled commercial land due to topography, infrastructure constraints, and restrictive zoning. This has reinforced pricing power, absorption, and investor demand across North Asheville, particularly along Merrimon Avenue, a commercial corridor with traffic and retail synergy. A luxury villa development is under construction adjacent to the site, with Phase I consisting of 14 units and Phase II planned for an additional 28 villas. Reynolds Village, featuring apartments above retail, has approximately 98.5% occupancy and over 40 operating businesses. The property is zoned Community Shopping, allowing a range of commercial uses including retail, food and beverage, office, medical, hospitality, service, and flex uses, with residential density achievable through approval. The site offers visibility, access to I-26, and proximity to employment and retail nodes.

Key Highlights

  • Located in the highly desirable Reynolds Mountain / Merrimon Avenue corridor of North Asheville.
  • 2.89‑acre development site zoned Community Shopping, allowing a broad range of commercial uses.
