An exceptionally rare development opportunity in the heart of downtown Newport. This premier parcel sits in the General Business Zone and is being sold with approvals in place for a Vacation Guest Facility, a designation that is increasingly difficult to secure in today's regulatory environment. The offering includes city approvals, engineering plans and architectural designs. The approved project features 11 residential units across the second, third, and fourth floors, including nine, two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath units and two, one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath units, all designed to support high-quality short-term and vacation rentals. The ground level is planned for retail use, creating an ideal mixed-use asset that enhances both guest experience and long-term value. The property also includes 23 on-site parking spaces, a major advantage in downtown Newport.
