1255 E Silver Springs Blvd Ocala, FL 34470

This 0.46-acre property presents a high-visibility redevelopment opportunity on Silver Springs Boulevard. The site formerly housed a 911-square-foot Hess Mart gas station and convenience store, featuring a 2,906-square-foot canopy. The City supports redevelopment of the site, and the seller can provide previously approved redevelopment plans for a drive-thru concept. According to the seller's understanding from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the site has four closed-in-place underground storage tanks since 2013 and is part of the Early Detection Incentive (EDI) program due to a prior fuel discharge. The state is currently performing testing and cleanup via monitoring and treatment injection wells at its own expense. If the new property owner decides to remove the existing building structure, the State will pay to remove the tanks and contaminated soil, restoring the land to its existing shape and providing a permanent clean status. Alternatively, the State will continue treatments at its expense until remediation is complete if the building remains in place. The environmental condition is reported to have minimal impact on redevelopment. The seller will provide the latest reports and facilitate contact with the appropriate state agency for further information. The property is located on State Road 40, also known as E. Silver Springs Blvd, one mile east of Hwy 441, on the north side of Silver Springs Blvd at the corner opposite Checkers burgers. The FDOT 2023 traffic count is 27,500. The property is zoned B2 and is ready for redevelopment.
