Introduction:
Fort Pierce, known for its rich history of Florida Agriculture and scenic waterfront, is one of the last hidden gems of Florida’s Treasure Coast. Our site provides a unique real estate opportunity for sale at 5080 US Highway 1, one of the historic main streets of the city, and a prime property in the heart of Fort Pierce.
The Discovery
This opportunity has come to market through a common relationship between RaceTrac gas stations and convenience stores based in Atlanta, GA. This unique location along US-1 in Fort Pierce consists of 0.78 – acres and is zoned for commercial purposes. As a note to potential buyers, the property has come to market due to ownership changes.
The Challenge
Unlike most projects, this site does not face some of the typical challenges that face new projects in Florida as a whole. Paul Rutledge, in speaking to the ownership, viewed attracting potential buyers to the property naturally as it is very similar to the RACETRAC SURPLUS PORTFOLIO that they are successfully managing. With over 500,000 viewers on its marketing platform of LoopNet and Crexi, it has added LQ Commercial Real Estate support to its private name and over 15,000 contacts, and a broad reach on its social media that draws numerous views to its products. To do this, Paul has a personal media director who does all the social postings daily and a Webmaster who hosts the Extended Reach page and its electronic reach. Further, he collaborates with his associate Zach Ellis and the LQ marketing team in the Tampa office. With over 40 brokers in the four offices, Florida is their home field.
The Transformation
As interest in the property grows and the surrounding area continues to develop, the property and its potential will only grow and rise in value as has been the history of Florida, especially on the East Coast, as buyers who are seeking opportunity will see this location as a developable site.
The Perfect Buyer
The perfect buyer who’s looking to develop, relocate, or expand their growing business to Fort Pierce will be a perfect fit. With the likely buyers being medical, food, business, or general retail-related, its strategic location makes it the ideal spot for that category of users.
