10205 Cortez Rd W, Bradenton, FL 34210

This property presents an opportunity to own a long-standing auto repair business in a high-visibility location, situated just two miles from Anna Maria Island. The poured concrete block building features three service bays and two lifts, including an in-ground 1956 hydro lift. It occupies a corner, pie-shaped lot that provides ample parking, along with a 300 sq ft storage unit located at the rear of the property. Gas pumps were previously removed from the property. The location benefits from a traffic count of approximately 33,000 vehicles per day along Cortez Road, enhancing its visibility and accessibility for various commercial uses. The business has been operating at this location for over 24 years. The current owner is retired and leasing to a longtime employee on a month-to-month basis. Zoned GC, the property can accommodate a variety of retail uses and services in free-standing parcels or shopping centers to serve the community's general commercial needs. The zoning also facilitates dwellings, multi-family residential, and mixed-use developments, including multi-family residential options. The property is located in a rapidly growing corridor of Manatee County. The Lake Flores / SeaFlower development is underway just east of the property. The first phase of SeaFlower, located west of 75th Street West and south of Cortez Road in Bradenton, will include 1,700 residential units, 250 hotel rooms, and 350,000 square feet of office and retail space.
