9± Acre Commercial Site Adjacent to ALDI | Signalized Corner Access | Lake Wales, FL

the site is positioned within the City’s primary US Highway 27 commercial corridor, immediately proximate to the area’s dominant daily-needs retail draw anchored by Publix. The surrounding trade area features a strong concentration of national and regional users including Aldi, Chili’s, Freddy’s, Sherwin-Williams, Planet Fitness, Lowe’s, and ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, supported by additional demand drivers such as Hampton Inn, a completed Chipotle, Slim Chickens, Starbucks, and a newly completed CubeSmart self-storage facility. Multiple auto dealerships along US 27 further reinforce the corridor’s high-visibility character and consistent traffic exposure, making the location well suited for a mixed-use development program that leverages established retail services and continued commercial investment in the immediate node.This ± 9-acre commercial site sits within one of Lake Wales’ most active retail growth areas. The property carries a CEX (Commercial Enclave-X) future land use designation, supporting commercial development within an established retail concentration—ideal positioning for neighborhood and regional-serving retail. Annexation opportunity: City of Lake Wales Growth Management indicates the property may be eligible for annexation with potential C-3 Commercial zoning (buyer to verify annexation eligibility, zoning, and allowable uses). The surrounding US-27 corridor is already functioning as a proven national-brand cluster anchored by ALDI and complemented by strong restaurant and service-retail co-tenancy, including Panera. The combination of grocery-driven daily traffic and established restaurant draw creates durable retail fundamentals—high trip frequency, strong tenant-to-tenant cross-shopping, and consistent US-27 visibility.
