Property Overview & Specifications

This "Fee Simple" investment opportunity is tailored for visionary developers looking to capitalize on a multi-faceted campus environment.

A Visionary Mixed-Use Ecosystem

The Melbourne City Center is more than just a commercial lot; it is a proposed sustainable micro-city. The master plan integrates a diverse array of sectors to ensure a constant flow of traffic and long-term economic resilience:

• Residential: Single-family homes and high-end apartments.

• Professional & Medical: A state-of-the-art medical and professional campus.

• Education: Designated sites for a university campus and a charter school.

• Retail & Leisure: A comprehensive retail center, senior living facilities, and a vibrant restaurant and entertainment district.

This synergy between residential living and professional services creates a self-sustaining ecosystem that attracts a premium demographic of residents, students, and healthcare professionals.

Strategic Location & Connectivity

The development is situated at a high-traffic intersection boasting a daily traffic count of 36,000 vehicles. Its placement offers logistical advantages for both local and international commerce:

• Proximity to Innovation: Located minutes from Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, placing it at the center of the global aerospace industry.

• Access Hub: Situated east of Interstate 95 and just south of the Orlando-Melbourne International Airport, ensuring seamless travel and logistics.

• High Visibility: The frontage along South Babcock Street provides maximum exposure for retail and professional signage.

Unrivaled Investment Highlights: The Opportunity Zone Advantage

One of the most compelling aspects of this property is its status as a newly qualified Opportunity Zone, as designated by the U.S. Treasury Department. This federal program, established under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, offers significant tax incentives for long-term investors:

• Capital Gains Deferral: Investors can defer federal taxes on recent capital gains until December 31, 2026.

• Tax Reduction: Potential to reduce tax payments on original gains by up to 15%.

• Tax-Free Growth: Perhaps the most lucrative benefit—investors may pay zero taxes on potential profits earned from the Opportunity Fund if the investment is held for at least 10 years.

As the Space Coast continues to experience an influx of high-tech jobs and population growth, the demand for sophisticated, mixed-use infrastructure has never been higher.
