LUDLOW, Vt. – The Pot Belly Pub has been demolished, and the property owners, Okemo5 LLC, have obtained permits for a proposed building plan including a ground-floor restaurant and two upper stories with two apartments each. The property is now listed for sale, with the permitting already in place, giving the potential buyer the option to begin construction immediately.
According to the listing, “The current owners have already laid the groundwork for what’s next. Town site plan and conditional use approvals are in hand, and the sellers are happy to share their full vision with the next owner – including conceptual floor plans for a restaurant at street level, with four luxury residential condominiums on levels two and three. This thoughtful mixed-use concept was designed to complement the character of the village while meeting modern demand for high-end residences and vibrant commercial space. Whether you choose to carry this vision forward or bring your own ideas to life, this property offers an exceptional head start on development in one of Vermont’s most desirable mountain communities.”
