This property is a great location to capture traffic heading south on US 17 and even better to capture traffic turning west on CR 209 and the intersection work is done.
1456 Russell Road offers an approximately 2.20-acre commercial development opportunity at the northwest corner of U.S. Highway 17 and Russell Road/County Road 209 in Green Cove Springs, Florida. The property is positioned at a signalized intersection along one of Clay County's primary north-south transportation corridors.
The site benefits from outstanding visibility, substantial highway frontage, signalized-intersection access, and exposure to strong daily traffic. The supplied 2025 FDOT traffic-count mapping reports approximately 42,000 vehicles per day on U.S. 17 north of the intersection, 27,400 vehicles per day on U.S. 17 south of the intersection, and 4,800 vehicles per day on Russell Road. These traffic volumes provide excellent exposure for businesses that depend upon visibility, convenience, and accessibility.
ZONING AND POTENTIAL USES
The property is zoned BA - Neighborhood Business District by Clay County. This zoning, combined with the site's size and prominent corner location, may support a variety of neighborhood-serving commercial uses. Potential uses could include convenience retail, fuel sales, restaurant, drive-through service, professional or medical offices, financial services, personal services, or other commercial development permitted within the district. Prospective purchasers should confirm their intended use and all applicable development standards directly with Clay County.
UTILITIES AND SITE CAPACITY
Municipal water, municipal sewer, and electric service are available to the site. Buyers should independently verify utility capacity, connection locations, impact and connection fees, stormwater requirements, and any necessary service improvements with the applicable providers.
The approximately 2.20-acre site provides substantially more development flexibility than a typical small commercial corner. Its size may allow for a freestanding commercial building, parking, drive aisles, stormwater facilities, landscaping, and other required site improvements, subject to engineering and governmental approval. Final development capacity will depend upon survey, wetlands and environmental review, access approval, setbacks, parking, stormwater design, utility placement, landscaping, signage requirements, and other applicable regulations.
ACCESS, TRAFFIC AND ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The supplied roadway-improvement plan depicts planned improvements to Russell Road/CR 209 at U.S. 17, including lane and roadway work. These improvements may enhance the long-term transportation function of the intersection. Prospective purchasers should independently verify the construction schedule, final roadway design, future access configuration, right-of-way requirements, and permitting considerations with the appropriate transportation agencies.
A tremendous amount of residential development is taking place on both of these roads and this property can accommodate and is zoned for convenience stores and restaurants including drive-thru's. The property is surveyed and has had topography work as well as access and egress calculations made. The property is also just south of two marinas.
Traffic count on US 17 at this intersection is 42000
