Downtown Dunedin Development Opportunity | Prime Infill Assemblage | Conceptual 8-Townhome Site
Palm Life Realty is pleased to present 952 & 958 Howard Avenue, a rare downtown infill development opportunity located in the heart of Dunedin, one of Florida’s most desirable and supply-constrained coastal markets. This offering consists of two contiguous parcels totaling approximately 0.32 acres (13,739 SF) with ±114 feet of frontage, positioned within Dunedin’s Downtown Core (DC) zoning district.
The property’s location places it steps from Main Street, the waterfront and marina, breweries, restaurants, shopping, and the Pinellas Trail, creating an exceptional walkable lifestyle environment. Downtown Dunedin continues to benefit from strong population growth, tourism demand, and limited available land, making new residential development opportunities increasingly rare and valuable.
The seller has conceptually evaluated a boutique townhome development of up to eight (8) units, with individual residences exceeding 2,000 square feet. Preliminary discussions with the City of Dunedin have produced positive feedback indicating the proposed density and scale are viable and consistent with the downtown character, subject to formal site plan review, design review, and standard municipal approvals. While no formal approvals are in place, this early feedback provides a meaningful head start for an experienced developer or investor seeking near-term execution potential.
The Downtown Core (DC) zoning is intended to support urban-style residential and mixed-use development, encouraging walkability, density, and compatibility with surrounding downtown uses. Buyers are encouraged to verify specific density, height, setback, parking, and use allowances directly with the City, including any short-term rental considerations.
All major utilities are available at the site, including public water, sewer, electricity, and cable, helping reduce off-site infrastructure costs and development friction. The property is located within city limits, carries Flood Zone X designation, and is not subject to HOA restrictions.
From an investment standpoint, the site offers multiple potential exit strategies, including:
* Luxury for-sale townhomes
* Urban residential hold-for-rent
* Boutique short-term or flexible-use residential project (buyer to verify)
* Hybrid sale and hold strategy
Downtown Dunedin continues to command premium pricing due to its limited land supply, strong buyer demographics, proximity to Clearwater Beach and Honeymoon Island, and a vibrant year-round local economy anchored by tourism, dining, and recreation. Well-located, small-scale residential developments have demonstrated strong absorption and resale performance relative to broader Pinellas County markets.
This offering is well-suited for townhome builders, infill residential developers, private investors, and boutique development groups seeking a high-quality coastal urban project with favorable zoning, infrastructure in place, and constructive preliminary City dialogue.
952 & 958 Howard Avenue represent a rare opportunity to control developable land in Downtown Dunedin—where walkability, zoning flexibility, and demand converge.
Buyer to verify all zoning, development potential, density, utilities, and use approvals with the City of Dunedin.
