About this home
DOWNTOWN BESSEMER CITY REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY Rare opportunity to acquire a highly visible development site in the heart of downtown Bessemer City, one of Gaston County's fastest-growing communities. The property consists of two parcels with approximately 275 feet of frontage along East Virginia Avenue (Highway 274), providing outstanding visibility, access, and redevelopment potential. The site is strategically positioned within walking distance of downtown Bessemer City and the recently completed Lofts at Osage Mill redevelopment, a transformative project that delivered 139 apartment homes and brought hundreds of new residents to the downtown area. Directly across the corridor is Kintegra Healthcare, creating additional daily traffic and demand for retail, office, medical, restaurant, and mixed-use development. Adding to the area's momentum, a nearby 19-townhome community received approval on July 30, 2024, further increasing residential density and supporting future commercial activity. Sidewalks are already in place along the property frontage, on-street parking is permitted, and rear alley access provides multiple points of ingress and egress. Property Highlights • Approximately 275 feet of frontage on East Virginia Avenue (Highway 274) • Two parcels included (Parcel #121417 included in total acreage) • Walking distance to downtown Bessemer City • Minutes from the completed 139-unit Lofts at Osage Mill redevelopment • Near approved 19-townhome development • Across the corridor from Kintegra Healthcare • Sidewalk infrastructure already in place • On-street parking available • Rear alley access • Excellent visibility and traffic exposure Regional attractions and employment centers include CaroMont Health, the FUSE District, Two Kings Casino Resort, Crowders Mountain State Park, and the greater Charlotte metropolitan area.
