RARE FULLY APPROVED MARTIN COUNTY DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

±12,772 SF Total Approved Building Area | 0.92 Acres | Hobe Sound, FL

Now available: one of the most highly sought-after development opportunities in Martin County — a shovel-ready, fully entitled commercial parcel located along the high-traffic US-1 corridor in Hobe Sound, Florida. This 0.92-acre site is delivered with fully engineered and County-approved construction plans for a 9,650 square foot retail/flex building, plus an additional 3,122 square feet of mezzanine space, creating a total usable footprint of approximately 12,772 square feet.

This is a true plug-and-play opportunity for developers, investors, and owner-users seeking to avoid the time, cost, and uncertainty of Florida’s coastal entitlement process. Every approval is in place, enabling a quick path to permit issuance and construction start.



ZERO ENTITLEMENT RISK | READY FOR PERMITTING & CONSTRUCTION

Over the past three years, ownership has invested significant time and capital into securing all necessary approvals under Martin County’s highly restrictive and detail-intensive development process. This includes full site plan approval, architectural review compliance, off-site drainage and utility coordination, and building permit readiness. The result: a parcel delivered fully permitted and immediately ready for vertical development.

Key Advantages:
• No site plan submittal delays
• No zoning risk or land use variance process
• No architectural design review hold-ups
• No drainage, concurrency, or utility review uncertainty
• County staff has reviewed and approved all required elements

For buyers who understand the typical 18–36 month process required for Martin County development, this offering represents a massive time and value advantage.



STRATEGIC LOCATION | COASTAL CORRIDOR VISIBILITY

Positioned directly along US-1 (SE Federal Highway), this parcel benefits from exceptional exposure, strong demographics, and immediate proximity to the area’s most affluent residential communities. The property lies just minutes from:
• Medalist Golf Club
• Jupiter Island
• Hobe Sound Beach
• Downtown Stuart
• Jonathan Dickinson State Park

This corridor serves as the primary north-south spine between Jupiter and Stuart and experiences traffic counts exceeding 20,000 vehicles per day. The site sits at the signalized intersection of SE Hobe Terrace and US-1, making it a highly accessible and visible location for commercial tenants or users.



APPROVED BUILDING DESIGN | MODERN RETAIL / FLEX CONFIGURATION

The site is approved for a ±9,650 SF ground-floor building with five distinct tenant bays, each with private internal mezzanine areas of ±634 SF. The building design is compliant with Martin County’s architectural, transparency, and landscape standards, and features:
• Fire-rated construction
• Impact-resistant storefront glass
• Architectural façade elements
• Decorative parapets and overhangs
• Anodized awnings, stucco scoring, and brick veneer
• Screened rooftop mechanicals
• Full ADA-compliant access and parking
• Off-site drainage system in place

The approved configuration allows for flexible leasing or single-user occupancy, and mezzanines can be used for storage, office, or back-of-house operations.



IDEAL FOR RETAIL, FLEX, OR SERVICE COMMERCIAL USE

This development is ideally suited for a range of uses, including:
• Service-Based Retail (salon, fitness, pet care, specialty retail)
• Medical or Professional Offices
• Showroom with Storage
• Construction or Trade-Oriented Businesses
• Owner-User HQ with On-Site Operations

Martin County’s strong housing growth, affluent base, and limited new retail/flex supply make this a compelling investment or owner-occupant opportunity.
