Downtown Ocala Metal Scrapyard on 7.65 Acres

7.65 commercial acre Metal Scrapyard located next to Ocala's Tuscawilla Park and the City's Performing Arts Theater. Seldom does a property of this size become available for purchase in the downtown Ocala area. The property includes two parcels and features five buildings: 16,047sf warehouse (1945), 5,950sf warehouse (2013), 2,216sf warehouse (1959), 1,056sf office (1955) and a 600sf office (1945). The current zoning is M-2 (Medium Industrial) with Low Intensity Land Use. CSX rail borders the property's eastern boundary.

From the mid 1980's until several years ago, the property operated as "Svinga Brothers", a scrap-metal and recycling operation.

Current deed restrictions provide for industrial purposes only on the southern 3.12-acre parcel (26104-000-00). This entire parcel is sealed and covered with an 8" concrete pad as a result of the parcel's use from the 1890s and 1950's as a manufactured gas plant, which deposited coal tar sludge into an onsite pit on the southern parcel. Environmental history and contacts are available.

The property is located within the City of Ocala's North Magnolia CRA (Community Redevelopment Area) and is eligible for significant tax incentives and improvement funds.
