PUT YOUR BUSINESS ON A STRATEGIC CORNER

Recent developments (as reported in the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, the Longboat Observer and other media) show that Longboat Key, Florida, is a community on the rise. There is a clear promise of additional upscale residences and additional beach resort facilities second to none: more than ever before, this famously affluent area is becoming a top world-class destination. That means outstanding opportunities for investors, and for businesses of many kinds. Before the island becomes a seller's market once again, now is the time to invest in one of the finest commercial locations in town: a former service station on a strategic street corner that can be easily converted to many excellent uses.

It boasts of great visibility to all vehicles entering town from the north. It has access from the main highway and, with frontage on 3 sides, is also accessible from an important side street that is the only route to the upscale "Longbeach Village" residential neighborhood, to the Longboat Key Art Center (which holds adult art classes and hosts social functions that overflow the parking lot), and to 2 popular restaurants.

The site's nearest neighbors are the Chamber of Commerce and the Longboat Key Historical Society museum. There is public beach parking immediately across Gulf of Mexico Drive. price: $1.3 MILLION.
