Prime Light Industrial Opportunity in North St. Lucie County – Former Citrus Packing Facility Ready for Reinvention
Discover this exceptional 40,793 SF industrial property situated on Old Dixie Highway in North St. Lucie County (Fort Pierce area), perfectly positioned for the next wave of growth. Once a thriving citrus packing house, this versatile asset now stands poised for redevelopment amid significant regional transformation.
The property features:
Main Building: 35,793 SF former citrus packing facility, offering expansive clear-span space ideal for adaptive reuse.
Secondary Building: 5,000 SF metal building with a long-term tenant in place, providing immediate income stability.
Key Infrastructure: Existing rail siding for efficient logistics and excellent highway frontage along Old Dixie Highway for superior accessibility.
Strategically located near the Indian River Lagoon and with direct ties to the marine and boating economy, this site presents an outstanding opportunity to convert into a marine industrial facility — think boat storage, repair, outfitting, yacht services, or related maritime operations. The area's growing marine industry hub (including nearby facilities supporting mega-yachts and recreational boating) makes this an ideal fit.
The timing couldn't be better. The North Causeway Bridge (also known as the North Hutchinson Island Bridge) replacement project — a $111.5 million high-level fixed-span structure — is on track for completion in late 2027. This major infrastructure upgrade will eliminate drawbridge delays, enhance traffic flow, improve evacuation routes, and boost connectivity to North Hutchinson Island's pristine beaches and emerging developments.
Coupled with the Opportunity Zone designation attracting new investors, ongoing gentrification, and revitalization across North St. Lucie County, this property is positioned at the forefront of economic momentum. The entire neighborhood is evolving, with increased interest in industrial, marine, and mixed-use opportunities.
Whether you're an investor seeking value-add potential, a marine business looking to expand, or a developer eyeing adaptive reuse in a high-growth corridor, this former citrus packing facility offers rare scale, infrastructure advantages, and prime location in one of Florida's most promising up-and-coming markets.
