RIVER ROAD

Property Details

Description

Rare opportunity to acquire a highly visible 15 acre commercial development site along South River Road, zoned ILW - Industrial Light & Warehousing, within the rapidly growing Wellen Park Corridor. The property backs directly up to greenspace and retention ponds located within the Sarasota County owned Englewood Sports Complex, providing a defined rear boundary and buffering from adjacent uses. The property offers approximately 1,000 feet of frontage along River Road. The site includes approximately 6.03 acres of usable land following approved wetland mitigation, with all non-developable acreage located at the rear of the property. This layout allows for an efficient building footprint and strong road frontage. Wetlands and mitigation areas are approved and clearly delineated under the current civil plan, offering clarity and certainty for future development. Positioned on a major arterial roadway, the property benefits from excellent visibility and traffic exposure and has received positive feedback from engineering and trade professionals regarding its development potential. Utilities are readily accessible, with electric service at the property line, water connection on the south side of South River Road, and planned sewer service via a lift station connecting to an 8-inch force main through the Englewood Water District. The substantial buildable footprint is well suited for a wide range of commercial or light industrial users seeking visibility, accessibility, and a strategic location within one of the area’s fastest-growing corridors. The property is located less than one mile from where South River Road transitions into Dearborn Street, near the local post office providing you plenty of convenience and accessibility for your commercial project.
