The flat, open concrete slab makes site work cost-effective. The existing structures provide a flexible footprint for industrial, commercial, or warehousing use, or complete redevelopment. Apartments or Multi-Family This property also offers strong potential for multifamily residential development - such as an apartment complex, or multi-family units - this has already been discussed with the City of Rutherford, and they have confirmed their support for this type of redevelopment. The size of the lot, presence of utilities, and structure of the buildings make this a unique opportunity to blend residential and commercial use in a growing area. There is also an opportunity to convert the existing south-side building (Building #1) into apartment units, with the addition of an on-site laundromat for both tenants and public use. Adequate water and sewer capacity are already in place to support this kind of development. Bonus Incentive - City Support The City of Rutherford has expressed willingness to transfer the adjacent parking lot (located to the right of the property) to the new owner. This significantly enhances site functionality and provides additional space for parking, green space, or community use - especially valuable for apartment or mixed-use projects.
