This 5.69 acre Palm River townhome development site consists of 5 parcels and stretches street to street (51st to 52nd) for over 700 ft along Palm River Road. The site is almost completely cleared and shadows several newer high-end homes that have recently been constructed along the Palm River's edge. With a prior PD site plan approved, the purchaser will enjoy considerable time savings to either develop according to the existing plan or modify to fit their own design specifications, as well as a huge development savings as Hillsborough County continues waste water service expansion through Phase 3 of the Palm River S2S Project scheduled for Fall of 2026. Sitting just minutes from Downtown Tampa, Ybor City, and Brandon markets via the Selmon Expressway, this site offers an outstanding opportunity to build and provide much needed workforce housing for growing Tampa Bay MSA needs.

Purchaser should consult professionals and the local municipality to determine property suitability. Located in Tampa near S. 50th Street and just south of the Selmon Expressway.

Greater Palm River Point, located between the Palm River and McKay Bay, is a waterfront and industrial-adjacent Palm River-Clair Mel neighborhood with working marinas and low-slung residential streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the US-41 (Causeway Blvd) and 50th St S corridor, where bait shops, boat yards, and no-frills local eateries line the drive. The Tampa Bypass Canal and river bends shape the scenery, with docks and mangroves framing many blocks. Housing reads as practical Florida—single-story homes, small lots, and pockets of newer infill near the water. Daily life tracks the shoreline, with fishing access and boat traffic setting the tempo. Commutes and errands often orbit the Causeway’s bridges and industrial frontage roads.

The PD District is intended to be used when unified, large scale, mixed use developments are proposed in areas lacking a predominant urban/suburban development pattern and adjacent land use compatibility is not a significant factor. Broad, general concept plans would be permitted with limited flexibility to accommodate land use changes in response to evolving market conditions.
