Executive Summary: High-Exposure Standalone Commercial Opportunity

This modern, Class B commercial building offers an unparalleled owner-user or investment opportunity along one of the absolute busiest transit corridors in Manatee County. Built in 2017 and meticulously maintained, the 1,316± SF freestanding building occupies a premium corner lot with direct, prominent frontage on South Tamiami Trail / US-41 (1st Street) in Bradenton, Florida.

Current Income & Versatile Re-Tenant Options

The building is currently operating as a professional office for Direct Insurance.

Investor Flexibility: With the active lease set to expire in August 2026, a buyer possesses immediate tactical flexibility. You can choose to renew and negotiate with the existing corporate tenant for long-term passive cash flow, place a new tenant, or take over the building for immediate owner-occupancy.

Thanks to its strategic layout and highly adaptable zoning, the facility is perfectly configured to accommodate a vast range of uses, including:

  • Professional Services (Legal, Accounting, Corporate Headquarters)

  • Medical Offices or Specialty Clinics

  • High-Traffic Retail Boutiques

  • Fast-Casual Cafés, Bakery, or Restaurant Concepts

Flexible Expansion & Land Assemblage Potential

The base offering includes the 1,316± SF building situated on a 0.22± acre corner lot. To maximize convenience, parking layout, and efficiency, the property features fully recorded cross-access and cross-parking easements with the adjacent Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Unlock Major Development Upside:

For developers or users requiring a larger footprint, there is an exclusive option to purchase an additional 0.5± acre parcel of vacant land directly to the east. Combining these parcels creates a powerful 0.72± acre commercial assemblage. This contiguous vacant land is ideal for a secondary office or retail building and has previously received municipal approvals for a high-value drive-thru lane via a Special Use Permit.

Unrivaled Transit Profile & Downtown Proximity

The property's defining feature is its exceptional location profile, capturing a massive 65,500 cars per day directly on US-41. This corner lot layout bypasses the traffic friction of the main highway by providing easy accessibility and ample vehicle parking via its dedicated secondary entrance off 10th Avenue East.

Proximity to Major Regional Traffic Arteries:

  • Downtown Bradenton Core: Positioned less than a quarter-mile south of the bustling city center at the intersection of Manatee Avenue and State Road 64.

  • Cortez Road Corridor: Located less than two miles north of Cortez Road, a major commercial retail hub.

  • Coast-to-Highway Connection: Both Manatee Ave and Cortez Rd act as the two primary East-West thoroughfares connecting Interstate 75 (I-75) to the world-famous beaches of Anna Maria Island.

Surrounded by Massive Institutional Employment Hubs

A primary key to retail and professional office success is daytime population density. This property is surrounded by Bradenton's largest corporate employers, manufacturing facilities, and municipal offices, driving a constant stream of daytime traffic right past your front door.

Major Surrounding Employment Drivers & Attractions:

  • Government & Healthcare: City of Bradenton municipal complexes, Manatee County Government Buildings, and the sprawling Manatee Memorial Hospital campus are all located just a few blocks north.

  • Industrial & Corporate Hubs: Major regional operations including Pierce Manufacturing, the global headquarters of Bealls Department Stores, Tropicana Orange Juice, and Graham Packaging.

  • Tourism & Culture: The scenic Manatee Riverfront Park, the Manatee Players Theatre, the Bishop Museum of Science and Nature, and LECOM Park—the historic Spring Training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Investment Highlights & Asset Advantages

  • High-Exposure Signage & Frontage: Massive daily exposure to 65,500 vehicles on Tamiami Trail ensures constant organic brand awareness.

  • Modern 2017 Construction: Low capital expenditure requirements and excellent building efficiencies due to recent construction standards.
