7.85 Acres | Prime Infill Development Site
940 College Avenue | Athens, GA
Rare opportunity to acquire 7.85 contiguous acres in the heart of Athens — just minutes from Downtown Athens and the flagship campus of the University of Georgia.
Large infill tracts of this scale in the urban core are exceptionally scarce. This site offers the size, location, and proximity to demand drivers that institutional and private developers seek for transformative mixed-use, student housing, multifamily, or campus-oriented commercial projects.
