This site represents one of the last walkable redevelopment opportunities near the University of Florida. At 1.12 acres with flexible U-9 zoning, the property sits in the heart of Gainesville’s most proven multifamily market—one that continues to experience strong pre-leasing velocity, high absorption, and consistent rent growth.
The immediate adjacency to a new 239-unit student housing development with a structured garage accelerates the area’s transformation into a modern student-living corridor. Developers benefit from the momentum: increased density, pedestrian activity, and infrastructure investment are already in motion.
The parcel’s walkable location and zoning allow for vertical development, mixed-use, and high-density multifamily, making it ideal for purpose-built student housing, market-rate apartments, or a hybrid concept. With the existing 12-unit building producing income during predevelopment, the site offers both short-term stability and long-term value creation.
For developers seeking a scalable, high-demand infill opportunity in a constrained supply market, 3557 SW 19th Ave delivers the location, zoning, and adjacency needed for a successful next-generation project.
