Exceptional development opportunity in Ferndale! This General Business-zoned property is ready to build, offering three planned building sites with the costly and time-consuming site work already completed. Stormwater infrastructure, water, sewer, and electrical are in place, allowing a developer to move directly toward vertical construction and significantly reducing development time, cost, and uncertainty. A Binding Site Plan is currently in process, creating the ability for each of the three buildings to be separately owned and sold once constructed—providing excellent flexibility for development, financing, and future disposition. Develop all three buildings, sell individually, retain as investments, or occupy one and sell or lease the others. Flexible General Business zoning allows for a broad range of potential uses, including retail, office, industrial, flex, showroom, service businesses, and other commercial uses. The combination of flexible zoning, completed infrastructure, multiple building sites, and the potential for individual building ownership makes this an outstanding opportunity for an owner-user, investor, or developer. Skip much of the expensive groundwork and start with a site positioned for construction and multiple long-term exit strategies. Permitted plans are included in list price.

Idyllic and classic 4 bedroom farmhouse and farm in the path of progress. This lovely property is currently used as a hobby farm and has been lovingly upkept and worked as it should. The farmhouse is a picture perfect cape cod style surrounded by fruit trees, garden space, shady areas and framed with barns and outbuildings. A very livable situation while completing engineering, design work, and permitting. Annexed into the city as medium density residential in the past, the City of Ferndale has enveloped it into a rezone designed to create density with several different zoning changes. This 9.8 acre property is slated to be rezoned high density residential with a minimum unit count of 15 per acre. This site could reasonably support several hundred units with adequate water flow and storm at the street, a gently sloping grade towards Thornton for storm conveyance and some nice plateau areas at the top of the property. Immediately across Thornton from both an elementary school and a middle school, and just 5 minutes from I-5 and 6 minutes from downtown this is an ideal site for residential multi-family density. With expansive territorial and potential bay views to the Southwest, excellent sun and a rural feel while maintaining proximity to transportation and services, this is a real opportunity to create a very livable small community with good density and style. The final city council meeting and deliberation regarding the rezone is to take place on September 21.
