Auburndale Multifamily Apartment Site 17.62 Acres

In recent years, Auburndale has experienced growth, especially in the industrial sector. The region's strategic location between two major metropolitan areas (Tampa and Orlando) and its proximity to major transportation routes like I-4 and the Polk Parkway have made it an attractive destination for businesses and distribution centers. This site in particular is just minutes from Pace Logistics Center, a recently constructed 464,000 ± SF distribution warehouse. Amazon also has a fulfillment center 5 ± minutes east of this site. The growth of these industrial warehouses in the area have contributed to increased economic activity, providing employment opportunities to local residents and boosting the region's economy. Also nearby is the SunTrax facility, a dedicated autonomous vehicle testing and research center, operated by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The primary goal of SunTrax is to accelerate the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles while ensuring safety and effectiveness. One feature of this site is the Auburndale TECO Trail, which abuts this property. This trail is 29.2 ± miles and connects Lake Myrtle in Auburndale with Polk City, where it meets up with the General James A. Van Fleet Trail. This former railroad track extends 29.2 miles from Polk City to Mabel and traverses three counties; Polk, Lake, and Sumter. The trail is flat and invites walkers, joggers, cyclists, and inline skaters. Trails like this contribute to the quality of life for residents and add to the appeal of the city for potential newcomers. With Polk County being one of the fastest growing counties in the nation, economic development will continue to thrive in this area.We are pleased to present a prime multifamily apartment site located in the rapidly growing city of Auburndale, Florida, at the intersection of Berkley Road and Pace Road. This expansive property spans 17.62 acres across three parcels. Currently zoned in Unincorporated Polk County, the City of Auburndale has granted pre-approval for annexation, with the property adjacent to the TECO Trail. A "PD-H2" zoning classification is anticipated, allowing for 14 units per acre. A master lift station development is currently underway to the south of the property, which will service this site and is scheduled for completion in August 2025. Water and sewer connections are readily accessible; further details can be provided upon request. Strategically located just a few miles north of US 92, an essential east/west thoroughfare serving the state, Auburndale is ideally situated along the I-4 corridor, which connects Tampa and Orlando, as well as between Lakeland and Winter Haven, FL. The site benefits from proximity to Berkley Charter School directly across the street and Florida Polytechnic University nearby. Additionally, it is just minutes from the US 92 corridor, offering convenient access to major retailers, grocery stores, and dining options. The Polk Parkway, a toll highway providing efficient transportation throughout Polk County, is also in close proximity, linking Exits 25 and 41 on Interstate 4.
