2814 26th Avenue E, Bradenton, FL 34208

Property Description

This 1+/- acre pad-ready commercial development site is strategically located along 26th Avenue East in Bradenton, Florida, offering an exceptional opportunity for a variety of high-demand commercial uses. The site is positioned for development with utilities stubbed to the parcel, off-site master stormwater, and shared access with the adjacent 7-Eleven. The property benefits from direct access from 26th Avenue East, including a dedicated right-turn lane, as well as secondary access through the 7-Eleven site onto 27th Street East, providing enhanced ingress and egress for future users. The property is zoned Manatee County Heavy Commercial (HC), allowing for a wide range of potential uses including drive-thru restaurants, retail, financial services, office and medical office, daycare, automotive services, equipment sales, warehouse, and other commercial applications. (Prohibited uses include: gas stations, convenience stores, and car washes.) Positioned within a growing commercial and residential trade area, the site offers excellent connectivity with convenient access to major regional corridors including US-301, State Road 64, State Road 70, and 44th Avenue East. The surrounding area is supported by a strong employment base, including major regional employers such as Tropicana Brands Group, Bealls, Pierce Manufacturing, Team Edition Apparel, Pirate City, and LECOM Park, which continue to drive demand and investment in Central Bradenton. Recent residential growth further strengthens the site's long-term commercial potential. Most notably is Glen Creek, the master planned community with 266 single family homes and 88 multi-family homes coming soon. The nearby Evergreen and Evergreen Estates communities have delivered more than 400 new single-family homes since 2020, introducing hundreds of new households into the immediate trade area. Additional future growth is supported by Hundred Acre Wood, a nearly 100-acre planned residential community approved for more than 500 residential units, including single-family homes, townhomes, and higher-density residential options. As development continues to expand east of US-301, available commercial land has become increasingly limited. This site is uniquely positioned to serve the growing population, workforce, and surrounding businesses, making it an ideal location for a neighborhood-serving commercial user seeking visibility, accessibility, and long-term growth potential.
