Old Hillsborough Lakefront Development

Situated in Hillsborough County with quick access to both I-4 and I-75, Seffner is a commuter's dream. You can easily drive to downtown Tampa (about 14 miles away) for work or entertainment, head to Lakeland, or even take a day trip to Orlando's theme parks or Florida's beautiful beaches. This central location gives you big-city access without the constant hustle and bustle at your doorstep. This area is well-regarded for its family-friendly environment and highly rated public schools, such as the acclaimed Strawberry Crest High School. In short, Seffner provides the space, tranquility, and community feel of a smaller town, while keeping you perfectly connected to the vibrant Tampa Bay area. It’s where you can enjoy the best of the Florida lifestyle, from quiet evenings by the lake to an easy drive to big-city amenities.The proposed urban service boundary extensions, FDOT’s I-4 Ultimate Project, and FDOT’s Tampa Bay Next initiatives are actively reshaping the area’s economic geography, positioning Seffner for continued growth. This 73 ± acre development tract located at 806 E Old Hillsborough Ave offers a well-placed opportunity within that expansion. Key 2026 local projects include the widening of major highways and intersections throughout the Seffner area, further enhancing accessibility and supporting long-term development activity. Recent updates to Hillsborough County’s Future Land Use policies, particularly the Centers & Connections initiative, are focused on improving connectivity, safety, walkability, and transit access along major corridors. As a result, investors are actively targeting infill and transitional development sites across multiple asset classes. The property benefits from its location just 14 miles east of downtown Tampa, with immediate access to the I-4 and I-75 interchange, placing it within a 30-minute commute of Tampa International Airport and key regional logistics hubs. As of 2026, mortgage rates have begun to stabilize, unlocking pent-up demand across Seffner’s housing spectrum, from entry-level single-family homes to larger estate-style properties and new townhome developments. While many 2017-era Opportunity Zones are approaching their initial sunset, updated OZ 2.0 designations are being finalized, with a focus on rural and semi-rural areas that could further support long-term value for properties along Seffner’s eastern agricultural fringe, including this site.
