Description
Exceptional Development Opportunity in West Cambridge’s Desirable Neighborhood!Seize a rare chance to acquire a 5,000+ sq. ft. lot in the heart of West Cambridge, strategically located to take full advantage of recent zoning changes. Currently being developed as a single-family home (see attached plans), this property offers tremendous potential for redevelopment, including the option to build two luxury townhomes, each featuring off-street parking and approximately 3,500-4,000 sq. ft. of living space. With an estimated sellout of $6M based on comparable sales at 186 & 180 Holworthy, this is an extraordinary investment opportunity. Alternatively, by-right zoning allows for the construction of 4-6 units, making it a prime buy-and-hold asset. For those looking to capitalize on the increased land value, the existing project can be completed and tailored to your vision.
