This unique property blends the feel of multi-family, commercial, and future development prospects. Zoning is set to shift to commercial/industrial this fall, opening doors for redevelopment—think storage units, commercial, residential, or your vision in collaboration with the city. Currently generating approximately $160K in gross annual income, it features two curb cutouts along Meridian, three up-to-date septic systems & Deer Creek Water Association rights. Sewer is dry-lined for future city connection. The site boasts seven well-maintained leasable buildings, including three homes, two shop spaces, a barn, and a showroom. It's hard to find property with this kind of upside potential.
