1. High-Visibility Corridor on Route 110 Situated on River Street / Route 110, one of Haverhill's primary arterial routes connecting downtown to I-495. The property enjoys exceptional exposure to heavy daily vehicle and foot traffic in both directions, with neighboring tenants including Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
2. MBTA Commuter Rail Proximity Haverhill Station — an MBTA commuter rail and Amtrak stop — is nearby on Route 110/113, bringing a steady flow of daily commuters and pedestrian traffic past the property year-round.
3. Immediate Cash Flow Potential The first floor is occupied by an established nail salon, providing day-one rental income. The vacant second floor (~1,675 SF) represents untapped revenue — lease it separately or owner-occupy to offset holding costs.
4. Flexible CG Zoning — Maximum Use Optionality CG (General Commercial) is Haverhill's most permissive retail/commercial designation, permitting a broad range of by-right uses. An investor can reposition the building for nearly any commercial purpose without costly rezoning battles.
5. City-Backed Revitalization Tailwind Haverhill's Vision 2035 master plan and an active RAISE federal grant application specifically target the River Street corridor for infrastructure upgrades, streetscape improvements, and economic investment — signaling rising property values ahead.
6. I-495 Access & Regional Draw Easy access to I-495 makes this location attractive for businesses serving a regional customer base across the Merrimack Valley. The property sits at the intersection of local foot traffic and regional highway convenience.
