Prime Commercial Opportunity: Established Auto Facility with High-Traffic Exposure on a total of 3.2 Acres (2 Parcels) Positioned at one of the region's most heavily traveled crossroads, this turnkey commercial property presents an exceptional investment in West Penn Township. Situated directly at the signalized intersection of State Route 309 and State Route 443, right before Dairy Road, the site commands prime visibility opposite the iconic Leiby's restaurant and a high-traffic convenience store with fuel pumps. With PennDOT daily traffic counts ranging from 11,000 to 17,000 vehicles at this major state highway junction, the location delivers immediate brand exposure and a constant stream of potential customers. Spanning 3.2 total acres with extensive road frontage, the property offers significant expansion potential and flexible commercial utility. Currently zoned Highway Commercial within the desirable Tamaqua Area School District, the acreage provides ample space for current operations, vehicle storage, or redevelopment. The site carries a history of strong commercial interest, with previous conceptual considerations including a used car sales lot, storage shed facility, or a small retail strip center. Prospective buyers are encouraged to consult West Penn Township zoning to explore the full spectrum of highest and best permitted-by-right uses, ranging from auto body and tire centers to new retail ventures. At the heart of the site stands a robust 1,922-square-foot solid masonry block building constructed in 1958. Designed for dual operational and administrative comfort, the building features a front reception area that can be completely closed off from the main work floor, a functional storage area, and a half bath. Modern infrastructure and utility upgrades abound, including bright LED light fixtures throughout, mini-split air conditioning units, public water connection, high-speed internet availability, updated single-phase electrical service, and a 24/7
