On the only highway connecting Key Largo to mainland South Florida and the Florida Keys, 101500 Overseas Highway offers buyers a highly visible 1.79-acre commercial property with an established operating footprint and significant outdoor utility. The site is improved with Wheatons Service Center, a 3,950-square-foot automotive service building featuring multiple service bays and customer-facing frontage, offering immediate functionality for automotive, marine, fleet, and service-oriented uses. Approximately 745 feet of frontage along US Highway 1 places the property in front of roughly 32,000 vehicles per day (VPD), providing broad exposure that is difficult to replicate in the constrained Keys commercial market.
A substantial paved apron offers ample space for vehicle circulation, customer parking, equipment staging, fleet storage, and operational support. With reported building coverage of just 5.07%, the property's value extends well beyond the existing structure, leaving a significant portion of the site available for investors evaluating industrial outdoor storage (IOS), contractor yards, fleet facilities, equipment rental operations, or service-commercial operations.
The diverse customer base includes residents, marine operators, contractors, service providers, seasonal visitors, and travelers moving throughout the Upper Keys. Nearby marine, automotive, hospitality, and tourism-related businesses help sustain year-round commercial activity. At the same time, the property's position directly across from the Publix-anchored Tradewinds Shopping Center enhances visibility and daily traffic exposure. Additional demand drivers include the surrounding residential communities and the neighboring RV park, producing a built-in customer base for vehicle servicing, maintenance, storage, and related services.
Beyond its current operations, 101500 Overseas Highway offers long-term strategic value in a market where commercial development opportunities are increasingly limited. Island geography, scarce developable land, and regulatory constraints make large commercial sites with extensive highway frontage difficult to assemble. As a result, assets that provide immediate utility, substantial outdoor capacity, and flexibility for a range of commercial users seldom come to market in Key Largo.
