Assemblage Overview
The assemblage offers a unique blend of commercially zoned frontage, interstate-adjacent development land, residential improvements, and agricultural acreage. This configuration allows for a wide range of development strategies, including phased commercial buildout, mixed-use planning, storage or hospitality development, land banking, or long-term strategic hold.
Multiple ingress and egress points from Highway 30 and Milton Road provide excellent circulation and access flexibility across the site. The assemblage's scale and configuration support both a single unified project or segmented development approaches.
Zoning & Use Flexibility
Zoning across the assemblage includes:
" B-3 (General Business) - City of Athens
" Residential - McMinn County
" Agricultural - McMinn County
This multi-zoning framework allows developers and investors to strategically allocate uses, parking, stormwater, buffers, and future expansion across parcels, while managing entitlement timelines and development risk.
