A rare opportunity in Central Florida’s Booming Industrial Market! This is more than an auction — it's an opportunity to own or invest in a centrally located, power-ready, high-utility industrial property in Polk County — one of the most strategic industrial corridors in the Southeastern U.S.
Located just minutes from I-4 and one block off US-17, this property sits squarely between Orlando and Tampa, offering unmatched access and long-term potential across a wide range of industrial, commercial, and trade applications.
