UF Health–Fronting Development on US-441, Summerfield, FL (3.07 AC)
A Central Florida retail corner positioned for growth.
A 3.07-acre commercial tract on US-441 in Summerfield, Florida, offers prime visibility and access in a fast-growing corridor between Ocala and The Villages. The property sits directly in front of the future ±26.92-acre UF Health campus and immediately beside a brand-new RaceTrac, creating steady trip traffic and strong synergy for everyday retail, food-and-beverage, and service tenants. Prominent frontage along US-441—carrying roughly 35,000 vehicles per day—adds the kind of exposure that operators value for signage, quick recognition, and easy customer access.
Just a mile away, Del Webb Country Club brings more than 3,200 homes into the trade area, reinforcing healthy consumer demand year-round. Within five miles, the population is approximately 68,104 with five-year growth of 2.6% and an average household income of $83,519—demographics that support quick-service and fast-casual restaurants, neighborhood retail, medical/professional services, and daily-needs concepts. The surrounding corridor already includes national brands such as Publix, Walgreens, Dollar General, Sherwin-Williams, Circle K, and Subway, indicating established shopping patterns and complementary trip chains for future tenants.
With flexible site-planning potential across its 3.07 acres, the property sets up well for multi-tenant neighborhood retail, single-tenant pads, or medical/professional uses that benefit from the forthcoming UF Health campus. The adjacency to RaceTrac adds immediate convenience traffic, while the medical anchor across the way should boost daytime population and service demand over time. Taken together—visibility, anchors, and demographics—this location offers a durable Central Florida position for operators and developers alike.
