A vacant, run down property on Route 6 is about to get renovated, and Marion drivers will have another option when fueling up starting this summer.

Closed for nearly six years, the former Getty gas station at 439 Wareham Road was recently purchased. Developers plan to re-open the gas station and construct a two-story building for retail space and a gym.

Rochester resident Ryan Correia, the property’s co-owner, said he hopes customers will get their gas pumped at the full-service station soon.

By next spring, Correia said an Anytime Fitness will be open for people looking to pump iron, if all goes according to schedule.

Correia and his business partner Ossama “Sam” Mohamed, of Allied Ventures LLC, recently purchased what had been known as Wells Gas Station.

Allied Ventures is located in Rochester and Mohamed, a Wareham resident, operates Sam’s Gas Station in Wareham.

Bob Rogers, of GAF Engineering in Wareham, and architect Anthi Frangiadis, of Anthi Frangiadis Associates, located in Marion, are working with Allied Ventures to redevelop the 2.7-acre site.

Initial plans call for the construction of a 7,500 square-foot building that would house a gym on the second floor, open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The first floor would have a convenience store and space for mixed-use retail.

Rogers said special attention is being paid to traffic. Summertime traffic woes have plagued the Cumberland Farms at the corner of Route 6 and Front Street since the gas station and convenience store opened.

“There’s a real desire to make this gas station work with vehicles, with trailers and boats,” Rogers said. “This is a good design that’s only going to get better in that regard.”

The site, located between Mill Street and Route 6, would have four access points for vehicles, two on Mill Street and two on Route 6.

Rogers said developers plan to meet town bylaws as written.

“We intend to comply with zoning with no variances and no uses that would require Zoning Board of Appeals approval,” Rogers said.

Regarding the building’s look, Frangiadis said a traditional, New England style saltbox design was used.

“We’re really looking to take cues from some of the other buildings in the area in terms of the character and the exterior itself,” Frangiadis said.

The building’s roof, which will be aluminum, is designed to accommodate solar panels.

The plans were unveiled at a pre-submission hearing before the Planning Board on June 15.

Board member Steve Gonsalves said he appreciated the building’s design, likening it to the Marion Institute.

“It’s very tasteful,” Gonsalves said.

Frangiadis said while plans are being completed, Correia has been working with the Fire Department and state environmental officials so the gas station can open this summer.

Correia said the double walled tanks were installed approximately 12 years ago. He said it appears that initial inspections show the tanks to be in working condition.

As for operating the site, Correia will manage the gas station. Also, he recently purchased the Getty Station in Wareham. Correia’s other projects include the demolition of the former Majestic Mattress Factory in Wareham in 2011. The site now has retail space and affordable housing.

Developers plan to attend the board’s July 6 meeting with a more detailed set of designs.

“We are working very hard to formalize this site plan,” Rogers said.

Chair Rob Lane said members looked forward to learning more about the project.

“It’s very exciting. We’re certainly going to try to work with you,” Lane said.
