Rare corner development opportunity in Norris Square featuring approved zoning plans and permits for a mixed-use building with 27 residential units and 1 commercial space, located within a Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ). The approved unit mix consists of 17 two-bedroom/two-bath units, 10 one-bedroom/one-bath units, and a ground-floor commercial space. The property currently includes a 6,120 SF masonry and steel building with high ceilings and two overhead doors, offering immediate flexibility for owner-users, storage, light industrial use, or rental income while development plans are executed. The existing zoning permit remains active through February 2029, allowing ample time to move forward with construction.
