Property Description
Fantastic multifamily development opportunity in the heart of downtown Ferndale. The value is in the land, with architectural and civil design complete for a 9-unit apartment building with an optional retail component along the 3rd Avenue frontage. The completed design work is included in the sale, offering significant time and cost savings for a future developer. City of Ferndale Urban Residential (UR) zoning provides flexibility for mixed commercial and/or high-density residential development. Conveniently located within walking distance of shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores, with quick access to I-5, this property is well positioned for strong long-term rental demand. The existing 2-bedroom home, 2-car garage, and two outbuildings are in need of updating and would require rehabilitation if a buyer intends to preserve and utilize the existing improvements.
