CR Properties Group is pleased to present a premier, high-yield land acquisition opportunity positioned at the absolute gateway to Poughkeepsie's primary medical and business districts: South Avenue & U.S. Route 9, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601. Offered at a strategic investment price of $1,250,000, this highly versatile 2.768-acre development property represents a rare premium tract matching the needs of institutional medical developers, hospitality networks, corporate R&D entities, or mid-rise residential builders.

Boasting an exceptional corner orientation, this property features an incredible dual-frontage profile with 234.7 linear feet of frontage directly on U.S. Route 9 and 351.8 linear feet of frontage on South Avenue.

Flexible R-D (Research & Development) District Zoning Framework

The property sits within the flexible and progressive R-D (Research & Development) District under the City of Poughkeepsie Zoning Code. This specialized designation is explicitly engineered to foster high-value, modern commercial uses, giving developers multiple lucrative paths to maximize their return on investment (ROI):

  • Medical Practices & Physician Satellites: Positioned perfectly for advanced outpatient clinics, multi-specialty surgery centers, or diagnostic labs looking to capture local market share.

  • Corporate Research & Specialized Laboratories: An ideal corporate footprint for biotechnology, pharmaceutical testing, or clean-tech laboratories requiring a prominent, easily accessible regional address.

  • Premium Hospitality & Hotel Development: The site's premier regional exposure makes it an excellent choice for a mid-rise select-service hotel aiming to serve business travelers and university visitors.

  • Mid-Rise Residential Overlay: Capitalize on the surging demand for regional housing by exploring transit-oriented, mid-rise multi-family residential developments targeting local medical professionals and university staff.

The Poughkeepsie Gateway Advantage: Unmatched Medical & Transit Proximity

This exceptional proximity makes the property a premier location for specialized physician groups, medical supply providers, and clinical research facilities looking to stay directly connected to the region's largest patient network.

Seamless Commuter Rail Pipelines to New York City
