This 17 ± acre property, spanning six tax ID parcels in Nokomis and Venice, boasts a prime location. It is strategically situated just a two-minute drive south of the 315,000 ± SF Sarasota Memorial Hospital Laurel Road Campus (at Laurel Rd & I-75), ensuring residents have excellent access to medical services and a wealth of surrounding amenities.

The site offers exceptional convenience with swift access to major amenities, including I-75, the health care "corridor", Publix, and an array or retail and dining vendors.
