Positioned at the corner of Lake Street and Church Street in the heart of Hamburg’s business district, 290 Lake St is a rare development parcel with prior approvals and a clear path to construction. This 0.8793-acre commercial site was previously approved for a mixed-use project that never broke ground, offering today’s buyer a unique opportunity to either revive the approved plan or reimagine the site for a new concept. The site is located in a community where the Hamburg Industrial Development Agency (IDA) has expressed interest in supporting qualified development projects. Developers are welcome in Hamburg, NY. Things to Note Prior Development Approval: The parcel previously received approval for a three-story mixed-use building that combines ground-floor retail/professional office space with upper-level residential units.
