This is a rare opportunity for prime commercial investment in Western Maryland’s high-visibility gateway corridor. Located within the Willow Brook Road Extension Project, this site has been designated a strategic “Development/Investment Opportunity Site” in the city’s long-term growth plan.
This 15.47-acre property offers exceptional visibility and accessibility, situated just 0.3 miles from Interstate 68 with over 575 feet of road frontage on Willow Brook Road. Within city limits, it benefits from direct access to major regional facilities, ensuring a steady flow of traffic and solidifying its position as a key gateway transit route for the region. Additionally, it is just 2 miles from Downtown Cumberland’s Revitalization Project—a recently completed $16 million enhancement that has garnered national attention and become a point of pride for residents as well as a must-see urban destination for visitors.
Optimally positioned and annexed into Business Commercial (BC) zoning, this property offers significant development flexibility, making it ideal for a variety of commercial ventures. The site includes a historic two-story structure, multiple outbuildings, and over 7 acres of cleared land, with central areas featuring favorable topography and soil conditions for development.
With an Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) of over 10,000 vehicles on Willow Brook Road frontage alone—not including traffic that can be captured from Interstate 68 —this location is poised for commercial growth. Additionally, local and regional incentives and resources are available to support development.
