There are over 3,000 hotel rooms within 1.5 miles, including the luxurious L'auberge and Golden Nugget casino resorts. Of these, approximately 900 +/- rooms are located within 1800 feet of the entrance on W Prien Lake! Visibility from Interstate I-210. Easy access to I-210, Lake Street, and the Nelson Road Extension Bridge, which is under construction, are yet other reasons to give serious consideration to this or other Contraband Point offerings. The Buyer is responsible for infrastructure, including roads, although the seller will provide the ROW for the E/W road off of the existing apron on Contraband Parkway. Contraband Parkway is the 4-lane road connecting the traffic circle at W Prien Lake Road & Contraband Parkway to L'auberge Blvd (aka Nelson Rd). Wetlands in this section have been mitigated, and a Traffic Impact Analysis has been completed. The new Hobby Lobby next to Target is completed, as is the main entrance off of W. Prien Lake Road. Be sure to check out the conceptual rendering in the photo section.
Directions: From Nelson Road at I-210, east on W. Prien Lake Road. The property is on the north side of W Prien Lake Road West of the Holly Hill traffic circle.
