The 1260 (the “Property”) is a ±8,300 SF two story office and retail plaza with five uncovered and nine covered parking spaces, vacant and ready for immediate occupancy. Positioned at NE 12th Avenue (Main Street) and East Oakland Park Boulevard, this is the premier gateway corner to Downtown Oakland Park’s Culinary Arts District, one of the hottest submarkets in the Fort Lauderdale MSA. The Property is topped by the city’s well known “Welcome to Oakland Park” sign and features the distinctive “1260” alien art monument on its exterior, making it an unmistakable local landmark. Directly across the street lies 1.5 acres of city owned land poised for redevelopment, adding even more energy and future foot traffic to this intersection.
The Culinary Arts District is celebrated for its walkability, popular bars, restaurants, breweries, and art boutiques along Main Street. The area is experiencing rapid transformation with major projects like The Sky Building and Horizon of Oakland Park, supported by over $30 million in city infrastructure investment. Oakland Park’s Community Redevelopment Agency also offers matching grants of up to $35,000 for qualifying culinary or art uses and up to $20,000 for other commercial improvements to enhance facades and interiors.
The 1260 offers an unmatched opportunity for an owner user or visionary brand to secure a high visibility presence at the very entrance to Fort Lauderdale’s most vibrant and talked about urban corridor.
LOCATION OVERVIEW
The 1260 is positioned at the southeast corner of NE 12th Avenue and East Oakland Park Boulevard, the gateway to Downtown Oakland Park’s Culinary Arts District, one of the fastest growing submarkets in the Fort Lauderdale MSA. This is the city’s most visible and active intersection, placing the Property directly in the path of growth and community energy.
The City of Oakland Park and its Community Redevelopment Agency have invested more than $30 million in infrastructure, streetscape enhancements, and utilities to create a walkable, business friendly environment. Strategic planning by RMA established the Culinary Arts District as a regional destination for food, art, and culture, and the City continues to support growth through robust CRA incentives for businesses and property owners.
The Culinary Arts District now features popular venues such as Funky Buddha Brewery, Rebel Wine Bar, Voo Doo Brewing Co, Nour Thai Kitchen, and Satellite Pinball Lounge. Jaco Pastorius Park hosts festivals, concerts, and community events that keep the district active day and night. Significant private development, including The Sky Building and Horizon of Oakland Park, is adding hundreds of residential units and attracting new residents and businesses. Directly across the street, 1.5 acres of city owned land is primed for redevelopment, ensuring continued growth.
The Property is minutes from Wilton Manors, Downtown Fort Lauderdale, Las Olas, and Fort Lauderdale Beach, with quick access to I-95, US-1, and Fort Lauderdale–Hollywood International Airport at approximately 8.5 to 10 miles or about an 18 minute drive. There are active discussions about adding a future commuter rail stop in Downtown Oakland Park along the Florida East Coast Railway corridor, which would further enhance long term connectivity and value.
