If you’ve been searching for a rare, shovel-ready site in one of West Virginia’s strongest growth corridors, stop scrolling.
I’m proud to present 2.9 acres of prime mixed-use land at 7935 University Town Centre Drive, Morgantown, WV 26501, priced at $1,600,000. View full listing on Loopnet.
This is one of the last sizable parcels left in the heart of University Town Centre, and the views alone are worth the trip. Flat, graded, and ready for your vision, whether that’s a high-end restaurant, retail center, professional office, or a creative mixed-use development.
Property Highlights
Total Lot Size: 2.9 acres (±)
Usable Acreage: 2.0 acres (±)
Zoning: Mixed Use – Town of Granville
Location: Inside Morgantown city limits
Price: $1,600,000
Utilities: All public and available (Mon Power, Mountaineer Gas, Morgantown Utility Board water & sewer)

Unbeatable Location & Visibility This site sits between the Courtyard Marriott and Star Furniture, literally steps from the Monongalia County Ballpark, home of WVU Baseball and the Pittsburgh Pirates’ Single-A affiliate, the West Virginia Black Bears. The ballpark hosts roughly 80 games per year and draws 2,000–4,000 fans per game.
You’re also:
0.5 miles from I-79 Exit 153 (45,584 vehicles per day)
Directly across from WVU Medicine
Minutes from Walmart, Target, Sam’s Club, and the entire University Town Centre retail corridor
The Growth Story You Want to Be Part of University Town Centre is already a regional powerhouse, and the momentum is accelerating. Just across I-79 sits the massive WestRidge Development, a 1,000+ acre master-planned community that’s bringing Menards, Bass Pro Shops, corporate offices, and hundreds of thousands of square feet of new retail and housing.
This is the kind of location where traffic counts, daytime population, and future demand all line up perfectly.
