Ocala Mixed-Use 21.5± Acres

This approximately 21.5‑acre mixed‑use commercial and industrial site is located just 2,500 feet from an I‑75 exit and entrance ramp in Ocala, Florida, positioning it nearly halfway between Miami and Atlanta. The parcel is divided into roughly 4.5 acres of B‑2 Community Business zoning (fronting W. Silver Springs Blvd) and 17 acres of M‑3 Heavy Industrial zoning, offering flexibility to combine retail, services, offices, hospitality, and select residential uses with manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, logistics, and outdoor storage. The property features approximately 700 feet of frontage on W. Silver Springs Blvd with traffic counts of about 31,000 vehicles per day, ensuring high visibility, while a secondary road stub along the western boundary allows separation of industrial truck traffic from public flows.

The B‑2 portion supports retail, banks, fitness centers, medical and professional offices, restaurants, and hotels. The M‑3 portion accommodates heavy and light manufacturing, distribution centers, warehousing, logistics, trucking terminals, and fleet facilities, with outdoor manufacturing and storage permitted. This dual‑zoning allows a mixed‑use industrial park with commercial components at the front and industrial/logistics uses behind.

Development strategies include a full mixed‑use industrial park, parcelization into a standalone B‑2 site and multiple M‑3 pads, a regional logistics hub, or ground lease and build‑to‑suit arrangements. With dual zoning, strong visibility, superior I‑75 access, and demand for industrial and commercial uses in Ocala and Marion County, this site is a rare, future‑ready opportunity for developers, investors, and end‑users.

Location Description

Located along W Broadway Street/Highway 40, just half a mile east of I-75, this 21.5-acre site sits within Ocala’s established commercial and industrial corridor. The property has more than 710 feet of highway frontage, access through a fully signalized intersection, water and sewer available at the site, and the CSX railroad along its northern boundary.

The property may be purchased as a whole or divided into two tracts. The 5.64-acre commercial portion fronts Highway 40 and can accommodate up to three retail outparcels, with approximately 30,000 vehicles traveling the corridor each day. The remaining 15.86 acres are zoned Heavy Industrial and are suited for warehouse, manufacturing, logistics, truck parking, equipment storage, industrial outdoor storage, and related uses.

Ocala continues to add residents, businesses, and major investment. The Ocala metro was the nation’s fastest-growing metropolitan area from 2023 to 2024, while Marion County’s estimated population reached 442,660 in 2025—an increase of 17.8% since 2020. Highway 40 also provides a direct connection west to the World Equestrian Center, a 2,000-plus-acre equestrian, hospitality, and event destination.

The surrounding corridor is home to Amazon, Chewy, FedEx, AutoZone, Averitt Express, Cheney Brothers, Raney’s Chrome Shop, and Outlaw Snax, placing the property among some of Ocala’s largest industrial and distribution operations.
