1400 Aurora Road

Description

Capitalize on a rare infill development opportunity in the heart of Melbourne. This 2.07-acre site offers approximately 552.70 feet of Aurora Road frontage, an existing curb cut, infrastructure in place, and a fully engineered plan for Aurora Place Mini-Storage featuring 102 units in two single-story buildings totaling 26,180 square feet. Surrounded by established neighborhoods and more than 42,000 residents within approximately three miles, the property sits in a dense, built-in customer base where demand already exists. Flexible C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning creates three strong paths forward: execute the planned self-storage facility, develop a highly visible retail, medical, office, or professional plaza serving more than 65,000 daily commuters, or create a striking high-density townhome community with direct street frontage and strong curb appeal. Few remaining Melbourne sites combine this level of visibility, density, access, engineering, and redevelopment flexibility. A RARE, HIGH-IMPACT DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN THE HEART OF MELBOURNE. This 2.07-acre commercial site delivers what serious developers search years to find: approximately 552.70 feet of commanding Aurora Road frontage, a fully cleared development-ready footprint, an existing curb cut, infrastructure in place, city water and sewer, reclaimed water for irrigation, C-1 Neighborhood Commercial zoning, General Commercial Future Land Use, and a fully engineered plan for Aurora Place Mini-Storage. Execute the planned 102-unit self-storage facility, create a highly visible retail, medical, office, flex, or professional plaza, or develop a high-density townhome community. This is a powerful infill development platform offering multiple paths to income, appreciation, and long-term value. THE FRONTAGE IS THE ADVANTAGE. With approximately 552.70 feet directly along Aurora Road and an average depth of approximately 167.50 feet, the property presents nearly its entire face to one of Melbourne's most important east-west corridors. That visibility allows a future project to command the streetscape, capture constant exposure, create powerful signage opportunities, and establish immediate brand recognition. Most commercial parcels offer a narrow entrance and push the development behind other buildings. This site does the opposite. It places the project front and center, creating a marketing presence that cannot be duplicated on a conventional interior parcel. READY FOR DEVELOPMENT. The land is flat, cleared, accessible, and positioned for efficient execution. The existing curb cut eliminates a major access hurdle, while infrastructure already in place gives the next owner a major head start. City water and sewer are available, reclaimed water is available for irrigation, and the property is located in FEMA Flood Zone X. This established infill location is surrounded by neighborhoods, businesses, employment centers, and transportation corridors. The next owner can focus on construction, leasing, operations, and return instead of waiting for the market to arrive. OPTION ONE: EXECUTE AURORA PLACE MINI-STORAGE. The property comes with a fully engineered plan for a 102-unit self-storage facility consisting of two efficient, single-story buildings totaling 26,180 square feet. Each building contains approximately 13,090 square feet, creating a balanced design intended for efficient construction, convenient access, simplified operations, and long-term management. The plan includes 39 front-facing exterior units with commercial-style roll-up doors for direct drive-up access, rapid loading and unloading, contractor use, business inventory, household moves, and larger storage needs. Additional units are positioned along a protected interior hallway for customers seeking added security and weather protection. Gated access, internal circulation, dedicated unloading space, sidewalks, landscaping, private stormwater retention, and a clean commercial presentation are incorporated into
