With prime frontage on Cortez Road, the site benefits from strong visibility and an average daily traffic count of approximately 30,500 vehicles. It is located less than three miles from Bradenton Beach and offers convenient access to US-41 (Tamiami Trail), IMG Academy and the site is a quick twenty-minute drive to Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport, which offers nonstop flights to 56 destinations as of May 2026. Major retail centers in close proximity are the Paradise Bay Shopping Center, which features Marshalls, Home Goods, Starbucks and First Watch, along with the long-awaited SeaFlower development, which will include Publix, Whataburger, Dutch Bros Coffee, and Potbelly Sandwich Works, among other retailers and restaurants, a brewery, hotel and luxury apartments in Phase I.
