Sockwell Drive Townhome Development

Investment Overview

Sockwell Drive Townhome Development is a residential land investment and development opportunity in established, high-income South Submarket of Huntsville, Alabama. Spanning approximately 2.94 acres, the property is zoned R2-A and fully planned for a 29-lot single-family attached townhome community. Current ownership has completed all foundational pre-development due diligence—including boundary and topographic surveys, Phase I Environmental screening, subsurface geotechnical borings, a 22-sheet civil engineering drawing package, and schematic architectural floor plans. Underwritten around a modern 2,400 ft² two-story townhome prototype, the project is well positioned for promising returns.
