Redevelopment or Education/Religious Site Bank Owned | ±23.8 Acres East Point - Atlanta MSA

Premier Redevelopment Opportunity in the Atlanta MSA

Positioned in the expanding bedroom community of East Point, Georgia, 2605 Ben Hill Road presents an exceptional bank-owned redevelopment opportunity comprising ±23.84 contiguous acres. Located just minutes from downtown Atlanta and Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, this expansive former educational campus offers real estate developers, institutional users, and investors a versatile canvas in one of the Southeast’s most dynamic metro areas.

Offered as a lender-owned foreclosure, the property is priced to reflect core land value minus anticipated site preparation and demolition costs, delivering immediate equity upside for strategic buyers.

Flexible E-I (Educational-Institutional) Zoning

A primary asset of 2605 Ben Hill Road is its highly adaptable Educational-Institutional (E-I) zoning designation. This classification opens direct avenues for both residential density and institutional expansion:

• Residential & Community Uses: Townhouses, residential clusters, religious facilities, private or charter schools, daycare centers, and administrative headquarters.

• Special Permit Potential: Higher-density care facilities, medical clinics, senior living, assisted living housing, and quasi-commercial uses directly supporting institutional activity.

Whether configured as an infill residential townhome community or re-established as a regional educational or religious complex, the site’s zoning offers clear regulatory paths to maximize yield.

Existing Structures & Adaptive Reuse Potential

The property features 10 existing buildings totaling approximately 102,900 square feet, providing a unique hybrid opportunity for total redevelopment or strategic adaptive reuse:

• Potentially Usable Campus Core (±48,333 SF): Three substantial facilities remain structurally viable for immediate or Phase 1 renovation:

  • Office / Classroom Building: Ideal for administrative offices, instruction, or training facilities.

  • Library Building: Multi-use spatial layout suitable for resource centers, media rooms, or open-plan workspaces.

  • Gymnasium: Fully sized athletic facility suited for sports programs, community centers, or event spaces.

• Structures Designated for Demolition or Heavy Overhaul (±54,567 SF): Seven buildings—comprising three former dormitory structures (±35,383 SF) and four residential buildings housing 18 multifamily units (±19,184 SF)—require complete teardown or full structural rehabilitation, making room for expanded master planning.

Strategic Location & Investment Summary

East Point continues to capture strong spillover growth from the greater Atlanta urban core, driven by robust housing demand and commercial expansion across Fulton County. With substantial frontage along Ben Hill Road and large-scale acreage that is increasingly rare in established infill pockets, 2605 Ben Hill Road represents a rare combination of location, scale, and pricing advantage for forward-thinking developers.
