Traffic exposure at the site is exceptional, with a traffic count of 38,570 cars per day (AADT). The rear of the property comprises 0.323 acre of land along Camrose Avenue and Lednura Road.
The auction provides an exceptional opportunity to purchase a high exposure site with a variety of potential uses and development strategies. Whether intending to renovate or repurpose the existing structures, or start fresh with a totally new development, the site provides incredible exposure and exceedingly convenient consumer access from the surrounding area.
LOCATION:
The property is located between Glen Burnie and Brooklyn Park in Northern Anne Arundel County. Positioned along Ritchie Highway near the corner of Hammonds Lane, and between the Baltimore Beltway (I-695, 0.5 mi. south) and I-895, the location features among the highest non-highway traffic counts in the Baltimore area (38,570 AADT). Access to major commuter routes and the prevalence of major employers surrounding the nearby ports, BWI and downtown Baltimore make the location ideal for any number of commercial purposes. New apartment construction at Woodfall Greens and a planned car wash at the adjoining corner highlight immediate development in the area. Other surrounding property uses include traditional retail, automotive, commercial services and special purpose. Arundel Gardens, a well established neighborhood of approximately 600 homes, is at the rear of the property.
