About this home

PRIME US HIGHWAY 17 INVESTMENT & REDEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY! Offering approximately 14.84 acres with an impressive 1,367± feet of frontage along US Highway 17 N, this property is strategically positioned within one of North Bartow’s emerging growth corridors. The property is currently located in unincorporated Polk County with an RL-1 Residential Low Future Land Use/Zoning designation. Its location adjacent to existing commercial uses creates potential for future annexation into the City of Bartow, along with a Future Land Use and zoning amendment, subject to governmental approval and buyer due diligence. The property is also positioned near the forthcoming Stuart Crossing development off Earnest Smith Boulevard, which is planned to include both business and residential components. This emerging mixed-use area is expected to introduce additional commercial activity, housing opportunities and supporting services, further enhancing the surrounding corridor and creating potential synergies for future development. Commercial development includes Culver’s, along with nearby restaurants, convenience stores, fuel stations, automotive-service businesses, retail establishments, professional offices, medical and service-oriented businesses, and other commercial uses serving the Bartow and North Bartow area. These existing businesses help establish the US Highway 17 corridor as an active commercial and transportation route, while the planned Stuart Crossing development and other nearby projects are expected to expand the area’s customer base and demand for additional services. Buyers should independently verify the location, status and operating details of nearby businesses and developments. The surrounding corridor continues to benefit from significant public and private investment. Construction of the Central Polk Parkway will provide an important regional connection between Polk Parkway/SR 570 and US 17, with an additional extension planned from US 17 toward SR 60. Nearby properties along the Parkway/US 17 corridor have also experienced annexation and commercial entitlement activity, further highlighting the area's long-term growth potential. Additional economic drivers include continued expansion and infrastructure investment at the Bartow Executive Airport and Industrial Park, major planned residential development throughout the greater Bartow area, the forthcoming business and residential components of Stuart Crossing, and ongoing FDOT investment along the US 17 corridor connecting Bartow, Eagle Lake and Winter Haven. With substantial highway frontage, excellent visibility and positioning near expanding transportation, residential, business and employment centers, this property presents an outstanding opportunity for land banking, residential development or potential future commercial redevelopment. Possible future uses could include highway commercial, service-oriented businesses, professional uses, flex/contractor space, automotive-related uses, storage or other development concepts, subject to annexation, zoning, land use, utility, access and governmental approvals. Invest now in a highly visible US 17 location positioned to benefit from Bartow and Polk County’s continued growth, established nearby commercial businesses including Culver’s, and the forthcoming development activity associated with Stuart Crossing.
