0 US 1 · Franklinton, NC 27525

This is a prime ±5.42-acre commercial corner site on US-1 (Capital Blvd) in Franklinton, North Carolina, one of the fastest-growing towns in the area. The property sits within Franklinton's ETJ and has road frontage on three sides: about 425 feet on US-1, 209 feet on Mann St, and 392 feet on R D Collins Rd. That gives it strong visibility and several possible access points.

US-1 carries heavy daily traffic. Two NCDOT count stations right by the site reported 2025 AADT counts of 13,000 and 16,500 vehicles per day. A full median crossover at the Mann St intersection lets traffic heading north or south on US-1 reach the site easily, and lets traffic leaving the site go either way.

The property is zoned C-3H (Highway Commercial). This district is designed for regional commercial uses along major roads. Uses allowed by right include retail, gas stations and convenience stores, restaurants with drive-throughs, hotels, professional and medical offices, and automotive services. More uses are also available with a Special Use Permit (SUP).

The surrounding area mixes established homes with nearby commercial development, so there's a built-in customer base and room to grow. Downtown Franklinton has seen a wave of new investment and activity recently, which adds to the momentum along the US-1 corridor. With this much acreage, frontage, and access in a growing market, the site is a strong opportunity for developers, investors, and owner-users.

Buyers should check with the Town of Franklinton about permitted uses, utilities, and development requirements.
