Located at 962–1022 E Shell Point Road in Ruskin, FL, this 3.18-acre parcel occupies a prime signalized corner at the intersection of E Shell Point Road and Interchange Street. The property is positioned within one of Hillsborough County’s fastest-growing residential corridors and lies just outside the boundaries of the City of Ruskin in unincorporated Hillsborough County. With strong visibility and multiple access points, the site is ideally suited for neighborhood-serving commercial uses that benefit from proximity to dense residential development, schools, and major employment centers.
The property is zoned Planned Development (PD) with a future land use designation of Residential-12 (R-12). An existing General Site Plan approval permits the development of two single-story commercial buildings, each approximately 5,000 square feet in size, along with 67 surface parking spaces and a dedicated drop-off lane—originally envisioned for a daycare facility. In support of this concept, preliminary civil engineering has been completed for a 10,000 square foot daycare building and an adjacent 5,000 square foot outdoor playground area. The site is cleared and generally level, with water and sewer service available at the property line through Hillsborough County utilities.
The parcel benefits from approximately 356 feet of frontage along E Shell Point Road and 366 feet along Interchange Street, providing excellent access and exposure in a highly trafficked area. The surrounding land uses include established single-family and multifamily residential communities to the north, west, and south, with light industrial and commercial uses to the east. Nearby institutions include Shields Middle School, Lennard High School, Ruskin Elementary School, SouthShore Regional Library, and Hillsborough Community College. The site is also less than 1.5 miles from the Amazon Fulfillment Center, contributing to strong daytime population and regional demand drivers.
The property is located within the Urban Service Area, and the Comprehensive Plan supports low-intensity, neighborhood-scale commercial development in this area. Hillsborough County planning staff have expressed support for projects that enhance residential quality of life—such as early education, personal services, and small-scale retail development.
With approved entitlements in place and preliminary development work already completed, this site is well-positioned for a wide range of commercial or community-oriented uses that align with long-term planning goals for South Hillsborough County.
