An exceptional development opportunity in the heart of historic Amherst! Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare, with one of the last remaining vacant parcels in the original downtown core now available. Comprised of two PIDs totalling approximately 14,500 sq. ft., this property is zoned Downtown Commercial (DC), allowing for a wide range of potential uses. Whether you're looking to construct retail, office, restaurant, professional, or mixed-use space, this property offers outstanding potential. A main-level commercial development with residential units above would be an ideal use, helping meet the growing demand for both commercial and housing space in the area, subject to any required municipal approvals. The property offers access to municipal water and sewer services and enjoys exceptional visibility directly across from the post office, surrounded by established businesses and just steps from the vibrant downtown amenities. With excellent exposure, flexible zoning, and an unbeatable location, this is a rare chance to invest in the future of Amherst's downtown. Buyers are encouraged to verify their intended use with the municipality. Bring your vision-the possibilities are endless!
