Rare, engineering-ready multifamily development opportunity in West Hempfield Township, one of Lancaster County's steadily growing residential corridors. The land fronts on Columbia Avenue (SR 0462) with secondary access at Oak Hollow Drive, and comes to market with a completed civil engineering package, a recorded sanitary sewer easement, and physically-installed water and fire service already in the ground; representing substantial pre-development cost and time already behind the next owner. Zoned C-1 Neighborhood Commercial, the site is subject to a zoning variance application (filed March 2026, pending township action) to accommodate a fully multifamily residential use. Current ownership has developed a full architectural concept for the site: a modern-farmhouse-inspired community of two, 3-story residential buildings totaling 54 to 66 apartment units, complemented by approximately 2,500 square feet of ground-floor retail, 90 to 120 parking spaces, a landscaped stormwater amenity pond, a playground, and a connective walking path. Full concept renderings and site plan available upon request. The site's engineering runway is substantial. A Final Land Development Plan previously advanced through West Hempfield Township and Lancaster County Planning Commission review, with all modification and waiver requests resolved. A PCSM stormwater narrative and PAG-02 NPDES permit are complete, and an independent Site Access Evaluation confirms Level of Service A onto Columbia Avenue with no turn lane warranted (AADT ≈ 15,257). Public water (Columbia Water) and sewer (Lancaster Area Sewer Authority) are at the road, gas is provided by UGI, and electric by PP&L, with 6" fire and 2" domestic water service already tapped to the site. Zoning is permissive and allows for a wide range of other potential uses as well. This offering is best suited to an experienced, well-capitalized developer prepared to finalize the pending entitlements and bring a 60-plus unit community to a submarket where workforce and attainable rental housing remains undersupplied relative to demand. Buyer to independently verify zoning, permitting status, and development feasibility. A complete due-diligence package; engineering set, recorded easement documentation, traffic study, and concept plans is available to qualified buyers upon request. Don't miss the opportunity!
