SR 70 Hard Corner Development Site, Southwest Florida

Situated at the corner of CR-675 and SR 70, this site is part of a hub allowing access North to South and East to West. CR-675 is a main north-south road that leads up to SR.64 and northwards into the exploding Parrish, Florida area. While SR-70 spans the entire state connecting Bradenton on the west coast, across the state through premium agricultural and farming areas such as Myakka City, Arcadia, Okeechobee, and over to the East Coast in Fort Pierce. As such SR-70 has been recognized by the state of Florida as a Strategic Intermodal System Road as a high priority for transportation throughout the center of the state. Neighborhood development in surrounding areas is continuing to boom and expand with a sizable number of active residential building permits. Neighborhoods featuring extensive growth and expansion include: University Lakes GDP, Country Club East/ Cypress Banks, and Del Web at LWR. The exponential growth to this area points to a lack of essential retailers and service providers such as gas stations and convenience stores as the nearest one is over 6 miles away, as well as office and medical office. Not only is this site at a highly trafficked intersection, but it is also located just outside of Lakewood Ranch. Lakewood Ranch has been recognized as the #2 top-selling master-planned community in the nation and recognized by Manatee County as one of four major growth and focus areas of the County. This site is positioned at the closest main intersection to the high-end Panther Ridge and Pomello Ranches subdivisions, as well as the Concession Golf Club. Other nearby amenities and attractions include The Premier Sports Campus at Lakewood Ranch, Lakewood National Golf Club, TreeUmph! Adventure Course, Bearadise Ranch Bear Preserve, and the location of the Sarasota Medieval Fair which is open throughout the month of November.
