Positioned within Norwalks established Brodys Landing PUD, these two separate land areas offer a flexible mixed-use development opportunity in a growing residential corridor. The sites are located along County Road G14 and E. 27th Street, near existing neighborhoods, schools, and major transportation routes. The approved PUD designates the property for Commercial Flex use, allowing commercial, retail, or office space with apartments or condominiums on the upper floors of a multi-story building. Buildings may be developed up to four stories, subject to City requirements. The two-site layout provides options for phased development, separate projects, or a coordinated mixed-use plan that brings neighborhood services together with residential living. The property also currently produces approximately $2,590 in annual crop income, providing income while future plans are developed. Parcels within the PUD may be developed independently when minimum requirements are met and surrounding development is not negatively affected. A strong opportunity for a builder or developer seeking a well-located mixed-use site in one of Norwalks expanding areas. Buyer should verify zoning, utilities, access, platting, engineering, and all development requirements with the City of Norwalk. All information obtained from seller and public records.
