Rare 1.55 AC Commercial Development Site – Adjacent to Walmart in Fort Wright, KY

Description:

1.66 AC Commercial Land w/ Existing Building – Fort Wright, KY | Zoned HOC-C-PUD

This rare 1.66-acre commercial development site in Fort Wright offers excellent visibility, flexible zoning, and strong market fundamentals. Located along Orphanage Road with 183 feet of paved frontage, the property sits within the Walmart trade corridor and minutes from I-75/I-275, offering strategic access and reliable commercial traffic.

The site includes a 1,544 SF commercial building (built 1978) suitable for office, contractor service business, storage, or redevelopment. The land features flat topography, a mix of cleared and wooded acreage, and public water and sewer availability, allowing for efficient site engineering and planning.

Traffic exposure is strong, with approximately 14,987 vehicles per day passing near the site per KYTC Station 059D56 (2023). The HOC-C-PUD zoning provides broad commercial use potential including retail, QSR/drive-thru (subject to approval), medical office, general office, flex commercial, contractor yard, or a full redevelopment concept.

Fort Wright is a supply-restricted submarket with strong incomes, steady population, and limited commercial land inventory. With proximity to Walmart, Kroger, dining, schools, and surrounding residential neighborhoods, this property is well-positioned for developers, owner-users, or investors seeking a development-ready site in a prime Northern Kentucky location.

Opportunities like this are rare — Fort Wright has very few remaining commercial parcels with utilities and frontage ready for redevelopment.
