Ownership and recorded sale history
What has actually traded in Federal Highway Corridor
Recorded transactions for retail properties in the Federal Highway pairs and the blocks east of downtown toward the Intracoastal, narrowed to the buildings closest to this one in size and age.
Reading this against the corridor
The county assesses this building at $505/SF. Recorded sales of retail properties in Federal Highway Corridor since 2021 have a median of $694/SF, across a range of $204/SF to $889/SF.
Across those 8 recorded sales, the median sale price came in at 1.11× the county assessed value. Assessed values are set for taxation and are reset on their own schedule, so they routinely sit apart from transaction prices — in either direction.
At 4,803 SF this building is materially larger than the 3,428 SF median for retail properties trading in this corridor, which narrows the pool of directly comparable transactions.
Built in 1907, it is older than the 1936 median vintage of what has been trading nearby — typically a repositioning, capital-expenditure or redevelopment conversation rather than a straight comparison.
By footprint it sits in roughly the 44th percentile of retail properties that have traded in this corridor — 22 of the 39 recorded sales were of larger buildings.
The assessment works out 27% below the median price per square foot of the comparable sales shown below. That is an arithmetic comparison of a tax figure against transaction prices, not a statement about what this building would sell for.
The lot runs 3.5× the building footprint — 16,908 SF of land under 4,803 SF of structure. Ratios that wide are usually where expansion or redevelopment questions start.
What this means for this building depends on what no public record contains — the leases, the condition, the rent roll.
