Vero Beach Retail for Sale
Exceptional Canal-Front Mixed-Use Investment on Royal Palm Pointe
Discover a rare opportunity to own a fully-leased, income-producing canal-front property in the heart of Vero Beach’s bustling Royal Palm Pointe corridor. This well-maintained two-story mixed-use building offers approximately 7,020± square feet of combined retail and residential space, plus six deep-water slips — providing multiple revenue streams, long-term tenant stability, and future redevelopment or short-term rental potential.
Property Overview
The first floor encompasses approximately 3,600± square feet of retail and professional space divided into three distinct storefronts. Each unit features 10’ ceilings, restrooms, back entrances for easy loading and deliveries, and separate utilities. The interiors are clean, updated, and well-maintained by reliable, long-term tenants. These units are fully leased, providing consistent cash flow and minimal management demands — an ideal foundation for any investor seeking steady income with limited turnover.
The second floor mirrors the same attention to quality and maintenance, offering three spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartments with private entries and expansive canal views. Each apartment includes a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, abundant natural light, and dedicated parking. These residences attract strong demand from both long-term renters and seasonal tenants due to their waterfront location and proximity to Vero’s downtown and beachside amenities. There is significant upside potential through repositioning the residential units as furnished executive or short-term rentals, further enhancing returns.
Waterfront & Marina Features
Adding to the property’s appeal are six deep-water slips located directly behind the building, accessible via a private dock. Each slip accommodates large vessels with water and power hookups. An on-site laundry facility serves boaters and tenants, creating an additional income stream and convenience amenity. The canal connects to the Indian River Lagoon, making this property especially desirable to boating enthusiasts, seasonal visitors, and residents seeking direct access to the water.
Parking, Access & Visibility
The site provides more than 18 parking spaces, offering ample availability for tenants, residents, and visitors. Royal Palm Pointe is known for its easy accessibility, strong traffic counts, and high visibility from one of Vero Beach’s most recognized commercial corridors. The area benefits from both local and tourist traffic, as it serves as a main connector between U.S. Highway 1 and the barrier island’s beachside retail and residential communities.
