0 Gentry Drive in Auburn, Alabama, offers an exceptional opportunity for investors and developers seeking a prime 1.65-acre site for redevelopment in one of Alabama’s fastest-growing and most dynamic cities. Ideally located just two miles from Auburn University—which enrolls over 33,000 students annually—this property is positioned at the heart of Auburn’s eastern growth corridor. It sits directly across the street from a newly developed mixed-use project called Midtown Auburn, surrounded by an emerging landscape of commercial, residential, and university-related expansion. With convenient access to major routes such as Opelika Road, East University Drive, and Interstate 85, this location ensures strong visibility, high traffic, and seamless connectivity to downtown Auburn, the Auburn Research Park, East Alabama Medical Center, and the wider East Alabama region. The area is experiencing rapid revitalization, and this 1.65-acre parcel represents one of the last remaining large-scale infill opportunities in a zone marked by significant public and private investment.

This property presents a blank canvas with a wide range of possibilities, from student apartments to townhomes, mixed-use retail and residential buildings, workforce or faculty housing, and more. Its proximity to Auburn University guarantees strong and sustained demand for housing, retail, and services, driven by a steady flow of students, faculty, and professionals. Developers will appreciate the site’s paved road frontage, availability of public utilities including water, sewer, electricity, and high-speed internet, and its location within the Auburn city limits, which streamlines the development process and provides access to supportive municipal resources. Auburn’s population has steadily grown over the past two decades, driven by university expansion, quality of life, and economic opportunity, making it one of the most attractive markets in the Southeast.
