Description:

This two-story commercial office building occupies a prominent 0.38-acre corner along SW 2nd Avenue in the heart of Gainesville’s Innovation District, a thriving urban hub positioned between downtown and the University of Florida. The property sits directly across from the iconic Swamp Restaurant and faces a new mixed-use development currently under construction, placing it at the center of one of the city’s most dynamic growth corridors.

The Innovation District is designed as a live, work, play environment and has attracted more than 80 companies and approximately 9,500 jobs, with around 1,600 employees on site and an estimated 10,000 residents within a two-mile radius. This concentration of talent, housing, and investment continues to drive demand for well-located commercial space in the immediate area.

The building features 17 dedicated parking spaces and a well-maintained interior highlighted by high ceilings and abundant natural light. A spacious reception and waiting area flows into 10 private offices, a large conference room, multiple restrooms, and a full kitchen. Formerly utilized as an attorney’s office, the layout is highly functional for professional use while offering the flexibility to be repositioned for a medical office, boutique restaurant, or other commercial applications.

With its adaptable configuration, strong surrounding fundamentals, and irreplaceable location, this property presents a compelling opportunity for both immediate occupancy and long-term value appreciation.

Office uses are allowed by right when operated as a home occupation or when limited to a small portion of the building, while museums and libraries require special permission.
