Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This property presents an adaptive reuse opportunity with a reinforced concrete block building of approximately 22,810 square feet. The building features a clear-span showroom/warehouse configuration designed for operational flexibility. Currently, the interior is arranged into three suites: approximately 1,500 square feet of retail space, approximately 2,000 square feet of retail space, and approximately 18,310 square feet of showroom/warehouse space. These suites can function independently or be combined into one contiguous facility. Situated on approximately 2.00 acres of General Neighborhood Commercial (GNC) zoned land, the property includes 51 parking spaces. It is strategically located along SR-44 / Gulf to Lake Highway, offering approximately 345 feet of high-visibility frontage, strong east-west exposure, and traffic counts exceeding 25,500 AADT. Right-in / right-out access ensures convenient ingress. A 32-foot-wide dock-high truck well, equipped with an 8' x 10' roll-up door and portable dock leveler, provides efficient loading. Ceiling heights range from approximately 18 feet in the front showroom area to 15 feet in the rear loading area. The building is supported by robust electrical infrastructure, including approximately 1,200-amp three-phase power with a distributed reduction system. The property is suited for a regional medical or healthcare campus, medical imaging center, outpatient surgery facility, or specialized wellness services. The clear-span layout, dock-high loading capability, and substantial power capacity support light manufacturing, fabrication, cabinetry and millwork production, equipment assembly, and specialty trade operations. The facility is also attractive for e-commerce fulfillment, regional distribution, and showroom-to-production hybrid users. The ability to maintain separated suites or combine the building into a single operational footprint allows for phased occupancy, multi-tenant configurations, or fully integrated operations. General Neighborhood Commercial zoning allows for a broad spectrum of uses including general retail, multi-use commercial, professional and medical offices, emergency service facilities, regional medical facilities, nursing homes, and assisted living. Additional conditional uses, subject to Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval, may include light manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and other compatible commercial applications.
