With over 1,000 people per day moving into Florida and its very favorable tax environment. There are over 10,000,000 people within a 100-mile radius of Lakeland.

Current owner will accept a leaseback the residential portion of the property for one year after closing, and the first floor retail tenant has a long-term in-place lease.
