Investment highlights
- Prime Corridor Location: Exceptional visibility with approximately 19,400 vehicles per day and a prominent corner presence.
- Flexible Zoning (C-O): The Commercial-Office zoning supports a wide range of professional, medical, and limited retail uses, ideal for the area's high concentration of white-collar and healthcare professionals.
- In-Place Infrastructure: The existing 3,921 sq. ft. building (built in 1970, renovated in 1985) is situated on a 0.58-acre lot that is almost entirely paved, providing ample on-site parking.
- Strong Demographics: Located in an area with a daytime population of over 11,000 within one mile, driven by major institutional employers.
- Corridor Improvements: Benefit from recent Athens-Clarke County investments in "Complete Streets," which have enhanced bikeability and pedestrian access, increasing "stop-and-shop" potential.
Owner/User Scenarios
The current structure is well-suited for a variety of professional services looking for a signature Athens location:
- Medical/Specialty Clinic: Capitalize on proximity to Piedmont Athens Regional by converting the space into a specialized outpatient clinic, dental office, or physical therapy center.
- Professional Office Headquarters: Ideal for an architecture firm, law practice, or creative agency seeking a standalone building with private parking and high brand visibility.
- Neighborhood Service-Retail: Perfect for high-end "boutique" services such as a specialized pharmacy, wellness studio, or professional grooming salon that caters to the affluent Cobbham/Boulevard residential base.
Redevelopment Potential
For investors looking to maximize the site's footprint, the property aligns with Athens-Clarke County's "Main Street Business" and "Mixed Density Residential" future land use goals:
- Package Listing of 823 Prince Ave & 663 North Milledge Ave totaling .58ac.
- Mixed-Use Development: Potential to redevelop into a multi-story storefront concept with ground-floor retail/office and 2–3 stories of boutique residential units or professional suites above.
- Infill Strategy: The county prioritizes infill over greenfield expansion. A higher-density design could leverage the C-O zoning to create a more urban, street-facing structure that matches the historic neighborhood scale while increasing leasable square footage.
- Boutique Residential/Hospitality: Given the "migration of downtown" toward Normaltown, the site could support high-end townhomes or professional-oriented apartments for medical residents and graduate students.
