The intersection of Northern and York sees traffic counts as high as 28,000 daily. Situated on the side of the street where commuters head home, it offers convenient access to York Road, a major north/south thoroughfare connecting northern Baltimore City with central Baltimore County. Adding to its allure, the historic Senator Theatre stands proudly across the street, serving as a magnet for visitors from all corners of the globe. Belvedere Square, one block north, attracts over 10,000 visitors a week with its mix of restaurants, shops and hosted events. Comprising three legal lots, the C-2 zoning classification offers a versatile array of potential uses, encompassing multifamily dwellings, retail spaces, restaurants, or office establishments. The property boasts an impressive 200 feet of frontage along York Road, facilitating visibility and accessibility. It further benefits from utility connections, including a 10-inch water supply connection on York Road and an 8-inch sewer connection located in the rear alley. Under “By-Right” provisions, a developer possesses the potential to construct up to 120 apartments on this site, with no parking requirements. The property’s elevation relative to the York Road sidewalk ranges from approximately 3 feet on the southern end to 6 feet on the northern end. It is worth noting that, as part of a Planned Urban Development (PUD), certain usage restrictions apply that may deviate from the typical allowances under C-2 Zoning regulations. The seller is in talks with the community about removing the PUD; call us for details. This development opportunity lies within a three-mile radius of five prestigious colleges and universities, positioning it as an ideal choice for off-campus housing, tapping into the substantial disposable income of this demographic.
