Property Description

This 4.80 AC parcel of prime real estate offers an ideal location for a church and promising redevelopment potential for builders and developers. Engineered site plans for a church have been fully approved, up to 12,000SF building. Use of the existing plans would eliminate the time-consuming permitting process, saving a church user tens of thousands and months of time working with engineers. Additionally, the statewide changes to stormwater requirements, effective December 28, 2025, would not be enforced. Comprised of flat, buildable land, this property offers developers, builders and investors the opportunity to seize a lucrative development opportunity. The property is located on the northbound side of Thomasville Road; a high-volume, major arterial road with over 63,000 cars passing daily. The property has been issued an approved Environmental Management Permit (EMP), permitting the property to be used as a church. In addition to receiving the EMP, a Permitted Use Verification (PUV) application has been submitted to the City of Tallahassee. The PUV is the first step in the site and development review process. To minimize the guesswork of what is feasible for the site, the Tallahassee-Leon County Planning Department's Neighborhood and Urban Design Division, DesignWorks, drafted a site plan reflecting a 19-lot subdivision, with proposed stormwater locations and through connection with access to rolling Hills Drive. (Plans attached to listing.) Further details will need to be addressed during the permitting process. This site delivers a great opportunity for investors, builders and developers to grow their portfolios in one of the most desirable areas of NE Tallahassee. Persimmon Hill and the FSU Credit Union are located directly across the street on the southbound side of Thomasville Road. Persimmon Hill is a mixed-use development that offers a variety of amenities, such as prominent local restaurants, retailers, and Class A office space. Additional amenities can be found nearby in Bannerman Crossings, offering local boutiques, restaurants, and so much more, including Millennium Nail and Day Salon, Hanger 38, and Lucky Goat Coffee Co. The large mixed-use project by Chiles High School will bring Culver's, Waffle House and Dutch Kitchen to the NE side of town, as well as a 750+ unit residential development, Bradford Hills. The property's convenient location, high daily traffic counts, excellent exposure and ample street frontage on Thomasville Road, allow for easy ingress/egress, and provide a wonderful opportunity for a church or residential development.
