Zoned within the Downtown Commercial District, the property allows for a wide range of uses and is positioned in a strong and growing market, with the City of Delaware reporting a median income of $99,786 and Delaware County at $133,540. This area has seen significant population growth and has nearly doubled since 2000 and continues to grow at approximately 3 percent annually. Located in a historic downtown community, the area offers a vibrant mix of national franchises and locally owned businesses, including breweries, coffee shops, boutiques, and salons that drive consistent business to one another. The property is just steps from Ohio Wesleyan University, home to approximately 1,600 students.(Seller is related to agent)
