eXp Commercial is pleased to present a 0.2551-acre hard-corner development site at 3rd Street and M Street. Currently used as a vacant parking lot, the property consists of three parcels with C-1 zoning and excellent walkability to the University of Louisville main campus, Cardinal Stadium, and the brand-new $90 million Student Success & Research Center.
