Upper River Rd

Athens, OH 45701

Positioned for maximum exposure and convenience, this 3-acre commercial parcel offers outstanding frontage and effortless access to US-33 in Athens, the county seat and regional hub for Southeast Ohio, anchored by Ohio University and supported by a strong healthcare-driven economy. Zoned B-2, the property allows for a wide range of commercial uses, making it well suited for retail, service, hospitality, office, or mixed-use development. The level, usable layout provides flexibility, while all major utilities: water, sewer, gas, and electric are readily accessible, simplifying planning and reducing development hurdles. High daily traffic counts and excellent visibility create built-in marketing value, and adjacency to the Hockhocking Adena Bikeway adds unique pedestrian and recreational exposure. Athens' stable university and healthcare employment base as well as niche manufacturing and tech-adjacent employers provides reliable demand, making this a strategic location. Rarely does a site with this level of exposure and convenience become available, making it an exceptional opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Southeast Ohio's most active commercial corridors.
