19,916 SF retail plaza located in the Ocala, FL MSA, the fastest-growing metro in the United States. With over 80% occupancy and long-term leases in place, the asset provides reliable, stable cash flow in a high-demand market. The Ocala metro ranked #36 out of 200 large metros nationwide, with a 2023 GDP of nearly $16 billion. The University of Florida projects Marion County's population could grow by up to 30% by 2040, signaling strong long-term demand. Opportunities like this—with both current income and future upside—are rare in this market and beyond. In addition to the 11 leasable suites, the property includes 59 humidity-controlled self-storage units, averaging near 90% occupancy generating significant steady monthly income. The retail interiors are adaptable, with configurable walls that allow for future reconfiguration or redesign. Offering includes two parcels totaling 3.73 acres, both zoned B-2 (Community Business) and served by public water and sewer. Outparcel presents excellent potential for development, with site-ready conditions. B-2 zoning allows for a wide variety of commercial uses, including hotel, motel, restaurant, and fast food with drive-thru access. Located in the heart of Salt Springs, the plaza sits adjacent the Salt Springs Resort—home to 500 RV sites and 39 cottages, that operates consistently near full occupancy. Directly across State Road 19 is the Salt Springs Recreation Area, one of the top destinations in the Ocala National Forest, which attracts millions of visitors annually. Notably, over 8.2 million people—more than a third of Florida’s population—live within an hour’s drive of Ocala National Forest. The property's proximity to the forest places it at the center of Florida’s thriving eco-tourism industry. Consistent year-round foot traffic brings significant demand for retail, hospitality, and service businesses in the immediate area. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a stabilized, income-producing asset with long-term upside in one of Florida’s most dynamic growth markets.
