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.

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

• 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.

• Architectural façade elements
• Decorative parapets and overhangs
• Anodized awnings, stucco scoring, and brick veneer
• Screened rooftop mechanicals

• Service-Based Retail (salon, fitness, pet care, specialty retail)
• Medical or Professional Offices
