5589 Lake Howell Road offers a compelling land lease exceptional opportunity to ground-lease a premier, off-market commercial footprint in the highly affluent Winter Park submarket. Comprising two contiguous commercial parcels totaling 0.55 Acres (23958 SF), the site features 167 feet of high-visibility road frontage with a uniform 150-foot lot depth. The parcel configuration is optimally laid out to support a multi-story freestanding medical office building (MOB), dental facility, surgical center, or neighborhood urgent care clinic with an efficient drive-up patient drop-off loop and wrap-around clinical parking. The defining competitive advantage of this site is its unincorporated Seminole County jurisdiction. While retaining a prestigious Winter Park corporate address, an incoming developer or healthcare system completely bypasses the intense municipal architectural boards, tight height restrictions, and extensive design-review delays natively tied to the City of Winter Park. Backed by an Official County Zoning Verification Letter, the property's active C-2 (General Commercial) Zoning permits medical use by-right and allows for aggressive vertical density scalability of up to 4-to-5 stories via standard county Floor Area Ratio (FAR) optimization. The ownership group seeks an institutional medical partner or private healthcare developer for a long-term, stable absolute NNN ground lease.
Positioned at a highly visible corner location, the site benefits from strong accessibility and exposure along Lake Howell Road. One of the property's most notable advantages is its proximity to a major hospital located approximately one mile away, making it an attractive option for medical office, outpatient services, healthcare support businesses, and other professional commercial users seeking convenient access to patients, healthcare professionals, and related services.
The surrounding area features a mix of residential neighborhoods, established businesses, and daily consumer activity that support long-term commercial demand. Its location within the greater Winter Park market provides connectivity to major employment centers and population bases throughout Seminole County and the Orlando metropolitan area. With redevelopment potential and a location that supports a range of commercial concepts, the property presents an opportunity for developers and tenants seeking to establish a presence in a well-positioned healthcare and commercial corridor.
