Invest Florida is proud to exclusively represent The Islander Center, a premier boutique commercial investment opportunity ideally situated in the heart of Sanibel Island along highly visible Periwinkle Way. The property consists of two beautifully renovated buildings totaling approximately 7,896 square feet situated on over 1.35 acres, offering approximately 244 feet of prime frontage on one of Sanibel's most traveled commercial corridors. A generous 58-space parking lot shared between both buildings provides abundant parking for customers, employees, and visitors.
The West Building encompasses approximately 4,095 square feet and consists of four suites occupied by a complementary mix of commercial tenants, including a take-out restaurant in Unit 1 with covered outdoor seating, a concierge medical office in Unit 2, a bike rental shop in Unit 3 and a 20 seat restaurant use available for lease in unit 4.
The East Building totals approximately 3,801 square feet and features a 1,587-square-foot full-service restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating, together with a spacious 2,214-square-foot professional office suite suitable for a wide variety of office or medical uses.
Following an extensive renovation, The Islander Center has been significantly upgraded with new interior finishes, modern mechanical systems, updated electrical infrastructure, and new HVAC equipment, minimizing near-term capital expenditures while positioning the property for continued rental growth and long-term appreciation.
