Perfectly positioned behind the city’s hurricane barrier, the site captures sweeping harbor views and is one of the last expansive, water-facing parcels available in New Bedford. The location offers more than just scenery. It sits beside the entrance to the Harbor Walk, a picturesque coastal path ideal for sunset strolls. Nearby, Cisco Brewery draws visitors year-round with its vibrant blend of food, music, and community. A public boat ramp provides direct access to the water, and with daily South Coast Rail service now connecting New Bedford to Boston, the site is more accessible than ever.

New Bedford offers investors and developers a compelling coastal backdrop with strong regional connectivity. Nestled between Cape Cod and Providence, the city is well situated near major metros, including Boston, while maintaining its own authentic New England charm.

National retailers such as Stop & Shop, Planet Fitness, and McDonald’s also serve the area, offering convenience and brand familiarity to residents. With its historic character, coastal appeal, and increasing accessibility, New Bedford stands out as a city full of opportunity.
