Port Charlotte Retail for Sale - Charlotte County
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a high-exposure commercial asset in one of Southwest Florida’s fastest evolving corridors. Positioned along Tamiami Trail (US-41) in the heart of Port Charlotte’s ‘Charlotte Harbor’ neighborhood, the site combines prime frontage, strong daily traffic counts, and zoning versatility — ideal for owner-users, investors, or developers seeking long-term upside.
Sitting on 0.61 acres (~26,572 SF), the property includes a 6,287 SF freestanding building previously operating as a car wash, with ample on-site parking and multiple existing income streams from short-term tenants. The site layout offers convenient ingress/egress and excellent visibility to both northbound and southbound traffic, making it an exceptional candidate for redevelopment or repositioning.
Zoning & Use Potential

This flexible entitlement framework also supports creative redevelopment concepts such as retail, service, or mixed-use applications, subject to county approvals.
