DEVELOPERS, BUILDERS & INVESTORS — a rare commercial development opportunity directly adjacent to the Route 1 corridor and DE Turf Sports Complex. Offered together are six contiguous vacant parcels totaling approximately 1.85 acres at 3624 Bay Road, providing exceptional visibility and positioning in one of Kent County’s most active travel and recreation corridors. All six parcels were rezoned in 2025 to BG – General Business, significantly expanding the property’s development potential. The parcels may be combined into a single development site, creating flexibility for a variety of commercial or investment concepts. Kent County’s General Business zoning allows for a broad range of uses, making this an excellent opportunity for a developer looking to capitalize on both Route 1 traffic and the steady flow of visitors traveling to DE Turf. Potential uses include a restaurant or bar, commercial lodging/hotel, retail center, professional or medical offices, gas station/convenience store, mixed-use development, mini-storage, automotive sales/service, sports medicine facility, commercial recreation, or multifamily apartments, among numerous other possibilities, subject to the applicable County review and approval requirements. A concept plan has already been prepared for an 18-unit apartment-style development, offering a starting point for an investor interested in housing or potentially developing the units for transient/short-term lodging to serve families, teams and visitors traveling to the nearby DE Turf Sports Complex, subject to Kent County approval and classification of the intended use. With 1.85 acres, six contiguous parcels, General Business zoning, immediate proximity to DE Turf and Route 1, and multiple potential income-producing development strategies, this is the type of site that offers developers the ability to pursue the highest and best use rather than being limited to a single concept. Whether the vision is hospitality, food and beverage, retail, multifamily, mixed-use or another commercial project, the location and zoning create a compelling opportunity in the growing Milford/Frederica corridor. Concept plan and additional property information available upon request. Buyer and buyer’s engineer should independently verify zoning, permitted uses, parcel consolidation, utilities, access, site-plan requirements and all governmental approvals necessary for buyer’s intended use.
