0 NW 18th Ave Ocala, FL 34475

1.52± acres of Heavy Industrial-zoned land within Eureka Industrial Park in the Ocala, Florida MSA—ranked by the U.S. Census Bureau as the nation's fastest-growing metropolitan area in 2025. The Ocala MSA grew 3.4% from July 2024 to July 2025 to approximately 442,660 residents.

Elevated above street level and positioned on a cul-de-sac, the parcel's existing grade may provide advantages during site planning and development. The site is well suited for manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, equipment operations and industrial services.

The property is ±0.9 mile from the signalized intersection of US 441/301 and SR 326 and ±3.7 miles from the I-75/SR 326 interchange at Exit 358. US 441/301, SR 326 and I-75 are major transportation arterials that traverse the region, providing connectivity throughout Florida and to national markets. 2025 FDOT AADT is 85,500 on I-75 immediately south of the interchange and 71,000 immediately north.

The industrial corridor is anchored by major national and regional operators. Ring Power Corporation, one of the largest Caterpillar dealers in the Southeast, maintains a major Ocala hub immediately adjacent to Eureka Industrial Park. Ag-Pro expanded its Ocala operation within the park in 2025, while adjacent Skyworks Equipment Rental is developing a new facility with anticipated completion in 2027. Together, these investments reinforce the corridor's concentration of heavy-equipment, construction, distribution and industrial-service users.

The property also benefits from proximity to major fulfillment and distribution operations by Amazon, Chewy, FedEx Ground and AutoZone in northwest Ocala, positioning the area as an important Central Florida logistics market.

Marion County's expanding economy and population support continued demand for industrial development and services. The county generated approximately $17.64 billion in GDP in 2024, according to U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis data, up from $11.57 billion in 2020—approximately 52.5% nominal growth in four years.

Population growth further strengthens the market. University of Florida BEBR projects Marion County's population to grow from approximately 471,100 residents in 2030 to 566,200 by 2050—an increase of approximately 20.2%. Florida's population has grown 8.9% from the April 2020 Census estimates base to more than 23.46 million residents in 2025, making it the nation's third-most-populous state.

For an industrial owner-user, developer or investor, this combination of economic and population growth supports expanding demand for construction, distribution, equipment, manufacturing and industrial-support services. With Heavy Industrial zoning, excellent I-75 access, established industrial neighbors and continued investment within and adjacent to Eureka Industrial Park, the parcel is strategically positioned to serve both the growing Ocala market and broader Florida economy.
