LOCATION:

The lots are located approximately 4 miles north of Aberdeen Proving Ground, the largest nearby employer, with a stated 16,000 employees, according to the City of Aberdeen website. Other major employers in the area include Frito-Lay, UPS, C&S Wholesale Grocers and Amazon. The site also offers convenient access to I-95, approximately 2.5 miles northwest via the Aberdeen Thruway (MD-22).

The property is well situated for development for both users and investors. Proximity to the Baltimore, Wilmington, Washington DC and Philadelphia metropolitan areas, in addition to Aberdeen, Havre de Grace and Belair, provides an ample, easily-reachable base of both individual and business consumers. Highway access fosters easy logistics for those transporting goods throughout the aforementioned area. The existing B-3 Highway Commercial Zoning further bolsters the value with an array of permitted uses. The auction provides an opportunity to buy one or both lots with excellent upside potential.
