On market a 0.80-acre (35, 006 SF) ground lease opportunity on SR 82 in Lehigh Acres, one of the highest-traffic corridors in eastern Lee County at roughly 36, 500 AADT. The parcel has direct highway frontage and full visibility from SR 82, with Wawa, McDonald's, and Publix all in view and I-75 six miles west. The site is zoned C-2 under Lee County's Land Development Code (Sec. 34-844), which permits a wide range of national retail, restaurant, financial, and service uses by right, meaning no special exception or rezoning is required before a tenant can pursue site plan approval. This includes fast food restaurants, drive-through facilities for any permitted use, banks and financial establishments, convenience stores, car washes, drugstores/pharmacies, and medical offices. The site also carries a Central Urban future land use designation, the county's "urban core" category with the highest level of existing and planned public services (Policy 1.1.3), and sits in an area the Comprehensive Plan encourages for mixed-use intensification near established residential, shopping, and employment centers (Objectives 11.1/11.2). There's no existing structure on the parcel, so a tenant gets a clean pad site to build to spec. Lease rate is negotiable. A supply-and-demand case worth flagging to tenants: Lee County's growth policy for the Lehigh Acres submarket commits the county to actively adding commercial land if residential development outpaces it (Policy 25.6.1), and Lehigh Acres has been adding roughly 1, 500 new residential permits every six months. That rooftop-to-retail imbalance, combined with a zoning code that already clears the path for by-right development, is exactly the setup national site selectors look for. Why now: This stretch of SR 82 is in the middle of a real commercial build-out. Sembler's Gateway Marketplace, anchored by Publix and Home Depot, is under construction a few miles west with mid-2027 delivery. Casto Net Lease Properties just unveiled a Walmart-anchored center at SR 82 and Blackstone Drive, with Panda Express, Wendy's, Taco Bell, and 7 Brew already committed to outparcels. The Blackstone Corporate Park proposal nearby adds another 900, 000+ SF of planned commercial and industrial space. Lee County is also advancing the Alico Road connector project to relieve SR 82 congestion as the area continues to grow. Trade area: Average household income is $92, 345 within one mile and $100, 062 within five miles, with population growing from 6, 984 to 91, 043 across that same radius.
