Demographics & The Southwest Florida Population Surge

Manatee County is officially one of the fastest-growing regions in the state of Florida. Data from TheFloridaScorecard.org projects an incredible 10% to 18% population increase for Manatee County by 2030.

This sustained population influx, paired with a distinct lack of remaining waterfront land parcels, positions this fully-entitled 58-acre site as a highly lucrative, de-risked asset for immediate development.
