135 Bayview Dr, Osprey, FL

This 5.498-acre development opportunity is located with frontage on the Gulf and US-41 in the rapidly growing Osprey/Sarasota area. The site is situated between US-41 and the Gulf. The development features a mixed-use plan with a proposed Gulf front hotel consisting of a 4-story, 100,000 square foot building with 120 rooms, a commercial site with a proposed 12,000 square foot office building, and a retail site with a 2-story, 24,000 square foot building with drive-thru opportunity. US-41/S. Tamiami Trail is a major North/South connector, making this a heavily trafficked area and giving the property excellent visibility on US-41. The site is within close proximity to Sarasota and downtown Venice, and a short drive to I-75. The current zoning allows for hotel, commercial, and retail use, making this a prime property for redevelopment. The area benefits from a centralized, strategic location within Florida between Miami and Tampa. The region’s tourism and healthcare industries are supported by a rising tech manufacturing and entrepreneurship scene. I-75 provides ease of access from Osprey/Sarasota to the major Florida employment centers of Tampa and Miami, as well as to the Midwestern United States. Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, located just 25 minutes to the north, handles nearly 1.26 million passengers annually and serves as a connecting hub for US Airways, American Airways, Delta, JetBlue, United, and Air Canada. Tampa International Airport, the 31st busiest in the nation, lies about one hour to the north.
