Property Description
Rarely does a vacant tract come to market this far down the development runway. The current owner engaged a full engineering and survey team to design, permit, and prepare a 20-unit multifamily development on this ±2.56-acre Franklin, Kentucky tract — but construction was never started. The buyer inherits a substantial head start: approved civil plans, an active stormwater discharge permit, a signed stormwater maintenance agreement with the City, and a filed development plan application. Whether a buyer proceeds with the existing multifamily concept or pursues an alternate plan for the R-3 zoned ground, the engineering, survey, and permitting legwork is already done.
