High-Traffic US 460 Redevelopment Site
High-Traffic US 460 Site Flanked by Pilot & Sheetz — 0.561 AC Redevelopment Opportunity
Marketing description
AUCTION SALE — Opening Bid $200,000
This 0.561-acre commercial site at 4700 County Drive sits in one of Prince George County's strongest commercial locations — physically flanked on both sides by a Pilot Travel Center and a Sheetz, two of the most recognized travel and convenience brands in the country. This kind of direct adjacency to major national operators is rare and creates an immediate, built-in customer base for any redevelopment use.
THE LOCATION
The property fronts US Route 460 (County Drive), a four-lane principal arterial and primary freight corridor connecting Hampton Roads to Richmond. VDOT 2023 traffic counts show approximately 10,000 vehicles per day passing the site, with roughly 10% truck traffic — a strong signal for fuel, service, and convenience-oriented redevelopment. The site is less than one mile from I-295 Exit 3B and approximately 2-3 miles from I-95, giving any future operator immediate regional and interstate reach. Hardee's and 7-Eleven sit within sight of the property as well, reinforcing this corridor as an established, high-performing commercial cluster.
THE PROPERTY
The site is a triangular corner parcel with approximately 276 feet of frontage along US 460, giving excellent visibility from both directions of travel. Topography is level, and the property sits in Flood Zone X, completely outside the 100-year and 500-year floodplains — removing two of the most common and costly development hurdles before a buyer even breaks ground. The property is improved with an existing 3,570 square foot, two-story wood frame building with metal siding and roof, built in 1975. The building is currently occupied; buyer to coordinate any timeline for vacancy and redevelopment directly with Seller. The existing structure offers a buyer optionality — renovate and reposition the current building, or clear the site for ground-up construction tailored to a specific use.
ZONING AND REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL
The property is zoned B-1 General Business District under Prince George County's zoning ordinance, which carries no minimum lot size requirement — a meaningful advantage on a parcel of this size and shape. B-1 zoning permits a broad range of uses by right, including retail stores, restaurants, auto and home appliance services, auto sales, and service stations. Additional uses, including car washes, automotive service stations with major repair, and other intensive commercial uses, are available through Prince George County's special exception process. Buyers are strongly encouraged to independently verify intended use, required approvals, and timelines directly with Prince George County Planning & Zoning at (804) 722-8678 prior to bidding.
WHY THIS SITE WORKS
High daily traffic combined with significant truck volume makes fuel, service, repair, and quick-service uses a natural fit for this location. Physical adjacency to Pilot Travel Center and Sheetz is a genuine commercial advantage — these operators draw consistent daily traffic that benefits any complementary use developed on this site. The corner geometry and dual-direction frontage maximize visibility, while level topography and flood-free status reduce engineering and insurance costs typically associated with redevelopment.
IDEAL BUYER PROFILES
Car wash developers and operators, fuel and convenience store operators, QSR and drive-through restaurant brands, automotive sales and service operators, and retail or service-based redevelopers seeking a proven, high-traffic corridor with direct interstate access.
DISTANCE TO KEY MARKETS
Less than 1 mile to I-295 Exit 3B. Approximately 2-3 miles to I-95. 6 miles from Petersburg, 17 miles from Chester, and 30 miles from Richmond.

Investment highlights
Rare dual-anchor adjacency. Site is physically flanked on both sides by a Pilot Travel Center and a Sheetz — a positioning advantage few comparable parcels can offer, with built-in daily traffic from two major national operators.
Proven high-traffic corridor. Approximately 10,000 vehicles per day (VDOT 2023) with roughly 10% truck traffic along US Route 460, a primary freight artery connecting Hampton Roads to Richmond.
Superior interstate access. Less than one mile to I-295 Exit 3B and approximately 2-3 miles to I-95, offering immediate regional and long-haul reach for fuel, service, or QSR operations.
Flexible B-1 zoning. Permits a broad range of by-right commercial uses including retail, restaurants, auto sales and service, and service stations — with no minimum lot size requirement under the ordinance.
Redevelopment optionality. Existing 3,570 SF building offers a buyer the choice to renovate the current structure or clear the site for ground-up construction tailored to a specific use.
De-risked site conditions. Level topography and Flood Zone X designation (outside both 100-year and 500-year floodplains) eliminate two of the most common and costly development obstacles.
Maximum visibility geometry. Triangular corner parcel with approximately 276 feet of US 460 frontage, visible from both directions of travel.
Below-market entry point. Auction format with a $200,000 opening bid creates a genuine opportunity for buyers to acquire a high-traffic corridor site well below typical asking-price levels for comparable sites.
Established commercial ecosystem. Immediate neighbors include Pilot, Sheetz, Hardee's, and 7-Eleven — a proven commercial cluster rather than an unproven or speculative location.
