PORT ST. LUCIE, FL– Marcus & Millichap Real Estate Investment Services, the nation’s largest real estate investment services firm, has retained the exclusive listing for the Port St. Lucie Center Village development, a 37-acre land development site in Port St. Lucie.

Paul Bouldin, (bottom left photo) senior associate and an associate member of the National Land Group in Tampa, is representing the seller.

Port St. Lucie is a rapidly growing city with more than 150,000 residents in what was predominately a bedroom community centrally located in the Treasure Coast of Florida in St. Lucie County, which is now transitioning into a dynamic and diverse city.

“The demand is growing for the development of retail, office and affordable housing in Port St. Lucie,” adds Bouldin.

“The economic model of Port St. Lucie Town Center Village, combined with current construction cost and potential income stream, make this asset an attractive long-term investment.”

As one of the fastest growing areas in the United States, and as the new home of the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies, the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute, and the Mann Research Center LLC, St Lucie County is emerging as the next center of science and technology excellence.

In addition, new business developments are expanding the area’s economic drivers, for example the Professional Golf Association (PGA), which is now residing in Port St. Lucie.

Located at 1684 Port St. Lucie Blvd., the development is bordered by Vero Beach to the north and Stuart to the south. It is well positioned to expand still further with more affordable housing and growing of new construction.
