Description
This 83-acre property in Auburndale, zoned for tourist commercial use, offers a strategic investment for mixed-use development. Located just north of Polk County's largest Publix and near I-4 exit 44, it's at the heart of a rapidly expanding area. The property neighbors significant projects like a new 1M+ SF Amazon fulfillment center, 384 apartments, and over 2,000 homes built in 2022. With water and sewer facilities along SR 559, it's ready for development. A county market study highlights a 680 hotel room shortage, indicating strong demand.
The site benefits from local initiatives like the Baseball Revenue Sharing Agreement and the recent completion of the Championship Soccer Stadium and Event Lake, underscoring a commitment to tourism and sports. Florida Polytechnic University, the Suntrax autonomous vehicle research facility, and the Lake Myrtle Sports Complex, add to the area's appeal.
