There are few opportunities – and even fewer locations – to develop in the Everglades and Ten Thousand Islands environment. The distinct advantages of developing the land at Port of the Islands include:
The Land for Development, which is separate from the condo‐hotel , is an estimated 6.284 Acres zoned Residential‐ Tourist (RT), which provides for a variety of land uses including hotel, residential, timeshare facilities, townhouses or family care facilities.- The Land is in one of the LAST sites in the Florida Everglades with full entitlement and development rights, creating an opportunity that is extremely rare in the region, which will provide a major advantage for development and promotion.
- As there is an existing Port of the Islands community, development of the Land will not disturb pristine Everglades land.
- The Land has zoning approved for future development of up to 94 2‐ Bed/2‐ Bath Units, or 153 Hotel Units, or a mix of both…. up to 10 stories with incredible panoramic views!
Additional assets included in the sales package which can serve as amenities for the Port of the Islands Everglades Adventure Resort or the Land for Development are:
20 Bellingham Concrete Floating Boat Slips. The submerged land beneath the Boat Slips is owned Fee Simple and is NOT leased from the State of Florida.- 1 newly renovated Sales Office Building with U.S. 41 frontage (for property sales related to the Land for Development). The Sales Office Building sits on .203 Acres of land zoned Residential‐Tourist (RT).
