1288 Lake Howard Dr Winter Haven, FL 33880

This exceptional 3.72-acre lakefront property in Winter Haven, Florida, presents a prime redevelopment opportunity. Located in Polk County, within the rapidly growing Lakeland MSA, this site boasts an R-5 zoning designation, permitting high-density multifamily development—up to 130 units. Its strategic location offers easy access to downtown Winter Haven, I-4, and major employment centers in Lakeland, Orlando, and Tampa Bay, all within a 50-minute drive. Pre-approved plans include 13 boat slips, capitalizing on the desirable lakefront setting. The property benefits from Polk County's significant population growth and a substantial unmet demand for rental housing, creating an ideal environment for a lucrative multifamily development. The existing zoning allows for flexibility in residential offerings, including traditional multifamily, build-to-rent single-family homes, or for-sale units. This is a rare chance to develop in one of Central Florida's most dynamic and sought-after markets. The site's proximity to major transportation arteries and amenities ensures strong appeal to potential residents. This exceptional opportunity combines high-density zoning, lakefront access, and a location within a booming market, making it an attractive investment for developers seeking significant returns.
