Exceptional location in one of the fastest growing areas of Marion County. This 1+ acre property is entered by a paved road, is cleared, and ready for construction. It is located directly on Hwy 27 with great visibility, less than 1 mile West of I-75, and across the street from a Publix-anchored shopping center that includes a UPS store, Subway, Roma Italian Restaurant, Tokyo Sushi, and Pizza Hut. Also in very close proximity is Gold's Gym, Recharge Clinic, McDonald's, Dunkin' Donuts, Regions Bank, Truist Bank, and Walgreens. A UF medical facility, two new hotels, and retail shops are either planned for or currently under construction within 2 miles. This location is also just 4 miles to the World Equestrian Center, the country’s largest and most esteemed equestrian facility spanning over 378 acres and home to restaurants, retailers, hotels, and host to year around horse events, festivals, conferences, and shows. The Ocala International Airport can be reached within about 10 minutes and the Gainesville Airport is less than one hour. This property is zoned B2, which includes, but is not limited to bank, fitness center, various retail sales and service, restaurant, and professional office. With zoning already approved, you'll just need to submit your plan to Marion County and SWFWMD. Engineering is already in place for water runoff for most any size building allowable in this sized space.
