We are thrilled to present this nearly 2-acre property in North Lakeland, just north of Interstate 4 at Exit 32. This exit serves as a major Lakeland viaduct, providing easy access to Florida Avenue, the main thoroughfare connecting north and south within the city.

What makes this location truly special is that it’s one of the last remaining development sites in the area. It’s conveniently situated near Lakeland Park Center, which features major retailers like Dick's Sporting Goods, Ulta, Ross, Floor and Decor, as well as the Ford Garage restaurant and several hotels. Plus, Lakeland Square Mall is just across US 98.

Zoned C-5 by the City of Lakeland, this property offers a wide variety of potential uses, including: hotels, retail spaces, low and high-turnover restaurants, professional offices, personal service providers, veterinary clinics and daycare facilities.

The property is visible from Interstate 4, which averages traffic counts of 105,500 vehicles per day.

This is a fantastic opportunity to capitalize on a prime location in a thriving area.
