GENERAL INFORMATION:
The Hagerstown Commerce Center comprises a commercial multi-purpose development immediately southwest of Dual Highway in Hagerstown. The development features a hotel and self-storage facility currently, both adjacent to large-scale new car dealerships. Additional retail and hospitality oriented development is planned. Lot E is at the end of All Star Court along a cul-de-sac. The site is bound by Interstate 70 to the south, providing valuable exposure and potential signage to 70,000+ cars per day. The site is clear and fairly level with a significant amount of development and entitlement work already complete. Commercial General zoning provides a broad level of commercial uses. Access to major highways, exposure along a well-traveled interstate highway, flexible zoning and available utilities make the site exceedingly attractive for investors and users of all types.

LOCATION:
The Hagerstown Commerce Center is located along All Star Court southwest of Dual Highway (US-40), north of Interstate 70 and 2 miles south of downtown Hagerstown. Hagerstown is the county seat for Washington County, and is a hub for local, regional and national business based on its position along major US highways (US-40, I-70 & I-81). The Hagerstown Commerce Center maximizes that position with immediate access to US-40 and I-70. Interstate 81 is just 6.5 miles west. Existing businesses nearby both demonstrate and bolster the location’s value, and include a Fairfield Inn & Suites, Valley (Self) Storage, Hamilton Nissan and the Younger Auto Group. According to MDOT statistics, daily traffic (AADT) comprises 70,291 cars along I-70 immediately south of the property, and 32,650 cars along Dual Highway (US-40) at the intersection of All Star Court.
