799 East Jefferson Avenue, Ashland, OR 97520

Back on market at a new price — 3.57 acres of build-ready E-1 employment land at the south gateway to Ashland's primary commercial corridor.

799 E Jefferson is a flat, fully unimproved 3.57-acre parcel zoned E-1 (Employment) — a category of land Ashland rarely produces. The site is build-ready: 2–3% grade, no structures, FEMA Zone X, curb-and-gutter at the corner, and full City utilities including fiber to 2.5 Gbps, all inside the urban growth boundary. With frontage and access on two public streets — 190 feet on Jefferson Avenue and 868 feet on Washington Street — a developer has room to separate truck, customer, and residential entrances on a single site.

E-1 zoning supports the broadest commercial use spectrum permitted anywhere in Ashland: retail, professional and medical office, light manufacturing, assembly and fabrication, distribution and warehouse, restaurant and food service, health and fitness, and institutional or community uses. Under the City's Residential (R) Overlay, the same parcel also carries up to approximately 53 mixed-use residential units by right — 15 dwelling units per acre above ground-floor commercial, with no special-use permit, density bonus, or income restriction required.

The property sits within an established, stable employment corridor — a half-mile cluster of owner-operated manufacturers, distributors, and warehouse/distribution operators, with retail anchors including the adjacent 777 Jefferson Goodwill, together employing more than 200 people across multi-decade operations. That established distribution base makes warehouse or light-industrial development a proven, in-demand use here — though the parcel's scale and E-1 flexibility leave the door open to office, retail, mixed-use, or institutional buyers just as readily. Regional connectivity is excellent, with I-5 Exit 14 approximately 1.1 miles north, and a private rail-spur feasibility study by Genesee & Wyoming confirms direct freight access is possible (conceptual layout and cost estimate in documents — for reference only).

Priced at $222,689 per acre, the offering sits 43% below the per-acre basis of the adjacent 777 Jefferson sale and 41% below the property's Ticor-assessed value. Very favorable seller financing is available to qualified buyers, with a $250,000 minimum down and negotiable terms.

Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own due diligence with the City of Ashland regarding intended uses and development standards (reference Ashland Land Use Ordinance §18.2.2.030). The full due-diligence package — preliminary title report, partition plat, and rail-spur conceptual layout — is available to qualified buyers on request. Contact either listing broker for details.
