This 8.3 acre site is in the process of being planned and permitted for potential entitlements up to 70,000 sqft.
Virtually all of SR 16 has become a High Demand/High Development Area. The vast majority of sites available two years ago are now in some phase of development. 3 of the 4 new housing projects in the area have recently come directly to 16(please see pics regarding these developments). The upscale Tapestry located just to the W. of this site finished construction recently and is currently leasing. Another was just completed in the 1100 block of SR 16 while another in the 800 to 900 block of 16 has gone vertical as of April 2026. Two of the three new housing developments are for 300+ units. The fourth large housing development (Terrassa) is just North of 16 and E. of I-95 where the high end outlet mall used to be. Terrassa also has over 300 luxury apts. This high growth area is in need of commercial retail and services to satisfy the Mushrooming demand. Due to the exposure this appears to be one of the very few larger sites remaining on SR 16 that would qualify as Prime. Other non-residential projects being built on 16 include a dental bldg w a coffee shop and an emergency care bldg in the 800 block. A high end used car dealership (Sunday Drive) has opened in the 2100 block of 16. Lastly Atlantic Marine plans to build a new boat showroom in the 2200 block of SR 16.
In this 1900 SR 16 site plan there are two outparcels of approx 2.5 ac and 3.7 ac (including their proportionate share of retention pond). Sites are ideal for QSR's (quick serve restaurants like Five Guys, Cava, BurgerFi or Panda Express, Drive-Thru coffee & Beverage Shops like Krispy Kreme or Ellianos, Banks-Credit Unions, Urgent Care/Medical Office/Vision Care i.e. America's Best Contacts, or Dental like Heartland & Deca Dental. Also needed is a Pharmacy w Drive-Thru. Specialty Retail like Mattress Firm, Auto Zone, O'Reilly's or Wireless Providers. Car washes like Mr. Clean, Tommy's Tidal Wave or Mister Car Wash. Also a good fit for auto accessory shops like Tint World, Black Optix, Line-X or Color Glo.
With this 1900 SR 16 site plan, in back of the outparcels there is a 2 ac +/- parcel which is ideal for a commercial project not requiring frontage on 16 or extra storage or parking space for your project that is fronting 16. This parcel can accommodate a good sized structure that allows up to 5 stories.
This entire 8.3 site could be ideal for Commercial Flex space, a hotel, a larger scale bed and breakfast built with an Old St. Augustine motif. A few other options include: Tech Schools, College Satellite facilities, Medical/profession office bldg, Top end (Covered) RV and Boat Storage, Large Scale Fitness Facility, Recreation facilities, Adult & Child Care Centers etc. Please check attached Zoning charts to confirm if your project applies. Although this property currently has a 3000 ft metal structure and two businesses on site W. of the drive, they are not necessarily being considered in the valuation of this property.
In the alternate 1910 SR 16 site plan it is geared for the developer and end user looking to take maximum advantage of the top end traffic count of roughly 43K/day (see attachment line 93.2). Note there is a Median Cut already in place on 16 going directly into the drive providing easy access for customers going in either direction. There will be two buildable sites on each side of the drive plus roughly a 1.35 acre retention pond in back. Your clients can purchase the full 8.3 acres or the 2.5 ac site on the East side of the drive. Any which way you slice it your client can not possibly get better exposure than these sites afford. These sites will be ideal for your clients looking to build structures such as Convenience stores w gas pumps like Gate, Raceway, Marathon or Buc-ee's. Other good fits are grocers like Trader Joe's, Sprouts, Fresh Market or the popular Fitness Studios. Zoning qualifies the site for auto sales which include smaller Car Dealerships whether New of Used.
Approx 412 Feet of Frontage for this 3.8 acre parcel or roughly 687 Frontage for both outparcels (per tax roll). The two outparcels in the 1900 and 1910 listings have a total of 5 acres directly fronting SR 16 plus have a 1.35 ac retention pond (approx 6.35 ac total) that can be purchased for $5.3M. Included in the $5.3M price, the owners will pay $400k of the impact fees for the wetlands on site. This is directly on State Road 16 which is the Main Road in and out of Old St. Augustine, Fl. The $2.2M price is for the 2.55 ac site on the E. side of the drive. The 3.8 acre site is located W. of the drive. On last review there were only two other larger parcels available in the area. One had 200 ft and the other 225 feet of Frontage on 16. Please note that the 1900 and the 1910 SR 16 listings are the same parcel of land with different approaches as to how it is marketed and developed. To be clear there are two engineer generated site plans in the works for this site depending on the developers vision and needs.
The two businesses currently on site are an Auto Repair Shop and a Used Car Sales.
Zoning in front portion is Commercial Intensive (CI) while the rear portion in (CHT) Commercial Highway Tourist
