About Cortez Boulevard
Outstanding commercial development opportunity along one of Hernando County’s most traveled corridors. This 5.50-acre parcel features approximately 710 feet of frontage on Cortez Boulevard (State Road 50), with an Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) count of 29,500 vehicles per day. Zoned C2, the property is ideally suited for a wide range of commercial applications—retail, fast-casual or quick-service dining, medical, office, or mixed-use development—subject to county approval. Its prime corner location enhances visibility and accessibility, offering multiple points of ingress and egress—an important advantage for most commercial uses. Water service is conveniently available from Clayton Road. As is typical for this market, municipal sewer service is not available; however, septic systems are widely accepted and utilized throughout the area, making this a practical and feasible option for new development. Located just minutes from the Historic City of Brooksville, this site combines modern development potential with small-town charm. Brooksville is known for its tree-lined streets, preserved architecture, and vibrant downtown—hosting seasonal festivals, farmers markets, and a growing local business scene. This blend of historic character and forward-looking growth has made the area increasingly attractive to both residents and commercial developers. The property is strategically positioned between two major transportation arteries—just 9 miles from Interstate 75 and 10 miles from the Suncoast Parkway—offering exceptional regional connectivity. It is also 12 miles from the Brooksville–Tampa Bay Regional Airport and 52 miles from Tampa International Airport. Downtown Tampa is 47 miles away, while Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg, and Orlando are all within 65 to 70 miles—placing the site within reach of four major metropolitan areas. For national retailers, commercial builders, and investors seeking visibility, flexibility, and long-term upside in a high-growth corridor, this is a rare and compelling opportunity.
