Mixed-Use Land for Sale in Iowa City, Iowa

Riverfront Crossing District Development Opportunity. This offering includes existing, highly usable improvements totaling approximately 14,000 SF, currently occupied with short-term leases, providing near-term income with long-term flexibility. Alternatively, the site may be redeveloped as a .58-acre building lot within the Riverfront Crossing (RFC) District, which features a form-based zoning overlay allowing for mid-rise mixed-use development. The RFC framework supports ground-floor commercial uses with apartments or condominiums above, up to 6-7 stories. An existing public alley bisects the property, offering additional vehicular access or the potential for abandonment, subject to City Planning Department & City Council approval. The location is exceptional; steps from shopping & dining, just blocks from downtown Iowa City & the University of Iowa main campus, placing this site at the center of one of the city's most active growth corridors. Assemblage Opportunity: This property may be combined with the adjacent parcel at 1030 Gilbert Street, providing an additional .55 acres of usable land, offered at $1,700,000, creating a larger-scale development footprint.
