It is minutes from pristine white-sand beaches, cultural destinations, entertainment and shopping.

This 3.4+/- acre development site is prime for development that could include a boutique hotel, multifamily, office space or residential condominiums with ground floor or adjacent retail and restaurants, all with water views.
Due to the site's proximity to the public boat ramp, the CRA is requiring that a developer design and construct boat trailer parking on a portion of the site to accommodate approximately 20-30 boat trailer spaces.The net developable area will end up being approximately 2.5 - 3 acres.
Due to the current split zoning on the property, the Expectation is that a rezone to Planned Development Multi-Use (PD-MU) will be required. Residential density on the site has been increased to 153 units through a recently completed City- initiated Comprehensive Plan Amendment that changed the Future Land Use (FLU) to Planned Community (PC).
