A standout opportunity to acquire five Franklin County commercial properties in one online event — four established auto-corridor sites on the South Side of Columbus (long used for car sales, leasing, and service) plus a ±1-acre commercial vacant land parcel in Canal Winchester. Each lot is offered individually and sells with reserve, subject to seller confirmation. Buy one, buy several, or buy them all — assemble exactly the portfolio that fits your plan.
Altogether the offering totals roughly ±2.19 acres across five lots, all currently held by a single owner and offered together for the first time. The four Columbus sites sit on heavily traveled commercial corridors — South High Street and Parsons Avenue — with a long, documented history of automotive retail use, while the Canal Winchester parcel is a clean, build-ready commercial lot. Whether you're an auto dealer looking for a turnkey lot, an investor building a commercial footprint on the South Side, or a developer with a re-use or redevelopment vision, this is a rare chance to buy proven, high-visibility real estate at auction.
