Middle River Terrace, 1219 NE 5th Ter #1-2

Rare opportunity to acquire an income producing duplex (1 Bedroom/1 Bathroom each side) with additional development capacity in Fort Lauderdale's rapidly developing Studio City at over 40% below market value. Located on NE 5th Terrace, less than one block from NE 13th Street, the property is under a 60 second walk from the heart of Studio City: Fort Lauderdale's emerging arts and entertainment district, featuring an eclectic mix of independent businesses like Gulfstream Brewing Co, Lovelee Bakeshop, Radio-Active Records and other popular neighborhood destinations. Situated at the crossroads of Flagler Village & Wilton Manors, the area offers a vibrant, walkable neighborhood experience with a youthful, creative energy often compared to early Wynwood. Surrounded by ongoing new development, the area continues to attract investors & developers who recognize its long term potential. This property should not be viewed solely as a duplex or solely as a land play; the true value is in both. The existing duplex (that has separate water & electric meters) can remain in place and continue generating income while 8 additional units are developed on the same lot, for a total of 10 units, without tearing down the current structure. The included site plan shows viable layout, parking, & access. A preliminary development meeting with the city has been held; representatives from every relevant department (planning, zoning, engineering, landscape, etc) were present and confirmed that the site plan is feasible and compliant with current code and zoning regulations.
