Bayfront Connector at McClelland Avenue presents a 37.98± acre commercial development opportunity in Erie, Pennsylvania. The assemblage consists of six parcels zoned C-2 General Commercial, allowing a broad range of commercial and mixed-use development options, including retail, office, multifamily residential, hospitality, automotive-related uses, service businesses, and other permitted commercial operations. The site may also be subdivided, providing flexibility for phased development or multiple end users.
The property benefits from extensive frontage along the Bayfront Connector (Route 290), including approximately 530 feet of visibility and access from a signalized intersection at McClelland Avenue. Two curb cuts are located along Route 290, with additional access available from East 35th, East 36th, and East 37th Streets. The combination of multiple access points and frontage along a heavily traveled corridor enhances visibility and circulation for future development.
Regional connectivity is a significant component of the property's positioning. The site is approximately 2.7 miles from Interstate 90, approximately 13 miles from Interstate 79, about four miles from Downtown Erie, and approximately 10 miles from Erie International Airport. Erie serves as a regional commercial hub along the Lake Erie shoreline and provides access to major population centers including Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh within a one-and-a-half to two-hour drive.
The gently sloping topography, availability of public utilities, gas, and electric service, and the potential availability of local development incentives and job creation programs further support a variety of commercial development strategies. The property's combination of size, zoning flexibility, transportation access, and visibility offers a substantial opportunity for investors, developers, and owner-users seeking a large-scale commercial site in Erie.
