Historic 40-room hospitality asset located near the highly traveled intersection of SR 40 and SR/CR 35 in the Ocala, FL MSA, ranked by the U.S. Census Bureau as the fastest-growing metro in the United States (2024), and directly across from Silver Springs State Park. The subject property is situated on 0.73 acres with approximately 121 feet of frontage on SR 40, a major east–west arterial that traverses the Ocala metropolitan area and provides regional connectivity. The asset consists of three buildings totaling 16,102 leasable square feet and was originally developed in 1963 as a Howard Johnson’s Motor Lodge adjacent to a former Howard Johnson’s Restaurant. The adjoining restaurant property has recently sold and is expected to undergo redevelopment. The site presents significant value-add potential through renovation, conversion, or redevelopment. The site is located within Catalyst Site #4 of the Silver Springs CRA Master Plan, which identifies the area for reinvestment and redevelopment. The plan contemplates the potential re-routing of SR 40, which may enhance site frontage and access, while encouraging neighborhood-scale mixed-use development, including retail and duplex or triplex residential development of up to 47 dwelling units, subject to applicable approvals. In addition to its location within the CRA, Marion County’s Special Use Permit (SUP) process allows alternative uses to be explored beyond the existing hospitality configuration. The selling entity has also provided conceptual renderings illustrating potential renovation scenarios under continued hospitality use, further demonstrating the site’s redevelopment flexibility. The Ocala MSA ranks #36 out of 200 large U.S. metros in the 2024 Milken Institute Best-Performing Cities Index and recorded an estimated 2023 GDP of approximately $16 billion according to Milken Institute and U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data. Further reinforcing long-term demand, the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) projects Marion County population growth of up to 30% by 2040. The asset is served by gas, electric, public water, and public sewer utilities and has benefited from roof updates in 2013 and 2022, helping reduce certain near-term capital expenditure requirements. This offering represents a rare opportunity to acquire a historically significant hospitality asset with exceptional visibility, location within a CRA-designated redevelopment area, and multiple paths to value creation in one of Florida’s most dynamic growth markets.
