1987 N Harbor City Blvd

Eau Gallie Arts District (EGAD): Located half a mile south, EGAD is a revitalized historic downtown area with art galleries, boutique shops, breweries, restaurants, and a public library. Events and the growing popularity of EGAD bring visitors regularly, some of whom travel on US-1 past the subject site. Major Retailers & Services: While the immediate segment of US-1 near Masterson has smaller businesses, larger retail nodes exist within a short drive. About 1 mile north at the intersection of US-1 and Lake Washington Road/Aurora Road, there are several auto dealerships and big-box retailers. For example, a Kia dealership, and further north, a Walmart Neighborhood Market and other shopping centers along US-1. Approximately 2 miles to the south (US-1 and SR-518), there is a cluster of stores (including Publix grocery, Walmart Supercenter on Wickham a bit west, and various national-chain restaurants along Eau Gallie Blvd). These help draw consistent traffic through the area. Medical and Office Hubs: The site is roughly 3 miles northeast of Holmes Regional Medical Center (the main hospital in downtown Melbourne) and 2 miles from Health First’s Holmes regional offices – meaning many medical professionals and patients commute via US-1. Closer by, on Eau Gallie Blvd and Apollo Blvd, there are medical office parks and clinics. Also, Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) is ~5 miles south and Eastern Florida State College (EFSC) Melbourne campus is ~4 miles west; while not adjacent, these institutions contribute to area daytime population and traffic patterns. Tourist Traffic: Although US-1 is not the primary tourist route, it does serve travelers exploring the Space Coast. The property lies roughly equidistant (about 6–7 miles) from two major causeways that bring beachside tourists to the mainland: the Eau Gallie Causeway to the south and the Pineda Causeway to the north. Tourists going to the Latter-Day Saints Temple (in construction on Lake Washington Rd) or to the Brevard Zoo (in Viera, 8 miles north) might pass here. Local Businesses: In the immediate vicinity on US-1 are various local businesses such as convenience stores, gas stations (a Circle K at Parkway Dr a bit north), niche retailers (marine supply, thrift stores), and eateries. For example, just a block south is a diner and a lawn equipment shop. These create some local foot traffic, but importantly they indicate that the area is a well-known commercial strip for locals.
