all in one of the most walkable, high-traffic areas on Florida's rapidly growing Space Coast. Traffic count: 12,000+ vehicles per day (AADT) on East New Haven Avenue. Surrounded by some of Downtown Melbourne's most iconic bars, restaurants, and retail destinations many with over four decades of history this property is deeply embedded in the city's cultural and economic fabric.
The area is undergoing a remarkable transformation, with several large-scale developments already in motion, including luxury townhomes, waterfront apartment complexes, high-end hotels, and a major expansion of Melbourne International Airport. Coupled with an influx of relocating companies and the city's multi-phase streetscape beautification initiative, Downtown Melbourne's skyline is evolving rapidly, and this property puts you right at the center of it all.
This is a rare opportunity to get in early as Melbourne enters a new era of growth. For developers, investors, or future owners, it's a chance to secure a footprint in one of Florida's fastest-growing and most walkable markets. Opportunities of this caliber don't come around often.
The property features a NEW metal roof and comes with HARB-approved architectural and structural plans for a 4-unit Airbnb or apartment concept. These plans are permit-ready, providing a streamlined path to development.
At the buyer's request, the seller is also willing to clear the site at no additional cost if demolition of the existing structure is desired.
