2800 Flagler Avenue - Development Parcel - Short Sale - Key West

2800 Flagler Avenue, Key West, Florida

If you are a potential developer or an investor interested in buying a land play in Key West, you might want to take a look at the new short sale offering of 2800 Flagler Avenue. The listing Realtor describes this large property this way:
"Over 4 acres of canal front property with over 1.76 acres of upland land available on Flagler Avenue in Key West. Preliminarily approved plans called for a 6,500 SF religious building on site with 35 parking spaces which would comply with zoning requirements. Conceptual preliminary plans have also been drawn for up to 10 affordable homes on the parcel with ample parking and surrounding space. If a market rate rogo is secured, this could also be a fine residential compound with privacy and water access to the canal. The site contains 480 feet of frontage on Flagler Avenue and Riviera canal. This is a short sale and the Seller is motivated to look at offers which would require bank approval."


A previous listing agent described the same parcel a bit differently when he wrote "There is nothing like this in Key West.(Emphasis added by me.) Zoning allows for up to 14 dwelling units and requires over 2 acres remain open space. Also allows for group homes with less than or equal to six residents. Conditional uses allow two-family residential dwellings (duplexes), educational institutions and day care, parks and recreation, active or passive, places of worship, protective services, public and private utilities." You decide which description whets your appetite the best.

480' Frontage along Flagler Avenue - Key West

I have been to the site a few times and have walked the frontage along Flagler Avenue and down 11th Street which runs two blocks from Flager to the Riviera Canal where there is a public boat ramp. The boat ramp gets a lot of use by locals who launch their boats on the weekends. The houses on either side of the Riviera Canal site to the west and down the canal one mile to the east where the canal feeds into the Atlantic Ocean probably all had scrub mangroves like exist at this site. Having potential waterfront access makes this property worthy of serious consideration. I am not saying a new owner could unequivocally bulldoze the mangrove and use all of the space, but I do think a good land planner and a good local real estate attorney could make a credible case for development of the parcel.

This is a very large parcel by Key West standards. A potential investor might decide to buy and hold a property like this until the market recovers.
