A 31,500-square-foot unimproved parcel in Brookhaven. The listing states no restrictions and reports public water, public sewer, natural gas, cable and electricity availability, but title documents, capacity and connection costs still need verification.

Parking, housing, chapter/event capacity: UNKNOWN parking; UNKNOWN housing. Read the findings below; no legal capacity is inferred.

Deed/HOA restrictions: VERIFIED; fraternity residential/assembly use: VERIFIED.
Transit: UNKNOWN — review listing notes and METRO source. Safety: Site-specific assessment not established unless recorded below.
