Chesapeake Commercial Gateway Land

Investment Overview

Situated on Augustine Herman Highway (also known as MD Route 213), this property offers 2.81 acres of commercial land in one of Cecil County’s most distinctive communities. Chesapeake City combines the character and appeal of a historic waterfront town with direct access to a well-traveled regional roadway serving Cecil County, Maryland and nearby Delaware markets. Located on a key north/south transportation corridor, approximately 10,000 vehicles pass the site daily. Maryland transportation data identifies traffic volumes of approximately 14,000 to 15,000 vehicles per day along the MD 213 corridor between Lewis Shore Road and U.S. Route 40, underscoring the importance of Augustine Herman Highway as a regional connector. Access to the property is already established through an easement with the adjacent lot. This existing access arrangement provides a significant development advantage, eliminating the need to create a new access point and the associated permitting, construction, and site work costs. Classified as a minor arterial route, MD 213 provides regional movement through Cecil County and maintains access to surrounding commercial and residential areas. The roadway connects Chesapeake City with the U.S. Route 40 corridor, while MD Routes 285 and 286 provide additional connections toward Delaware and the surrounding regional transportation network. Existing commercial activity along Augustine Herman Highway demonstrates the corridor's ability to support neighborhood-serving retail, service businesses, professional uses, and other commercial activities. The immediate area includes established businesses and services, while the broader Cecil County market continues to experience development and expansion.
