One thing that golfers would love nothing more is to introduce their friends and loved ones to the game they love. A great way to do that is through a Topgolf entertainment center. Topgolf is a glorified driving range that is geared toward golfers and non-golfers. There is hope that those of us in Volusia County can do our best “Happy Gilmore” impression and crush golf balls in Daytona Beach in the not so distant future.
South DeLand not only continues to grow residentially by leaps and bounds, but it seems there are new commercial additions happening every month. Here are a few of the latest additions.
A 1.4 million-square-foot distribution center got the next step to approval in a Planning and Zoning Board meeting on September 18 when the board voted 6-1 to rezone an 85-acre piece of land for industrial development in the city of Deltona.
What do a beaver, clean bathrooms, and gasoline have in common? That might be the most random question you've ever been asked, but they perfectly to someone from the state of Texas. They’re all things you can find at Buc-ee’s. The mega gas station and supermarket-sized convenience store is coming to Daytona Beach very soon.
It's happened to many of us. We've paid for gas at the pump only to later find out that our credit or debit card information has been hacked. The frustration sets in when you have to cancel your card and make a claim to recover those funds. Well, the good news is that all gas stations in Florida will have to install chip readers at the pumps by 2020. However, that is not so good of news for small, independently owned convenience store owners who will bear the upgrade expense of upward of $17,000 per pump.
It would be a dream come true for many West Volusia residents! A recent blurb in the West Volusia Beacon reports that Aldi has submitted an application for a building permit to the DeLand Building Department. The permit has been approved by the Building Department but is waiting for approval from the Fire Department.
The commercial real estate market in DeLand and throughout Central Florida is experiencing heavy growth. No one should ever trek the path of commercial real estate alone. There are many factors at play that necessitate a team of experts that can save you time and money. To help clients navigate through those sometimes murky waters, Swann Real Estate has strengthened its commercial division.
Have you ever wanted a heart-shaped steak to woo your Valentine? Or perhaps you’re looking for a variety of meats and steak cuts for your next backyard barbecue? DeLand has a new option to “meet” all of these needs.
For business owners, an important question that often goes unanswered is what is my business worth? Outside of home ownership, business ownership is typically the single most valuable asset that a person will own. Although there are ways to estimate your home value (your friendly neighborhood real estate broker, online services such as Zillow!, local property appraiser), how do you track the value of your business?
Business brokerage is an overlooked field in relation to traditional real estate. There is plenty of education and information available on traditional real estate, investment properties, approaches to property valuation, and general real estate market guidance. On the other hand, many commercial real estate brokerages don't work in the field or publish information relative to business brokerage. At Swann Real Estate, we want to provide this information to you. Let's start with three major factors that influence what your business is worth... DeLand has become a hotspot for businesses big and small. It's home to large corporate companies such as Davita and Frontier, yet it is a great place for solopreneurs to find community to get their businesses up and running. Regardless of size, there is something about DeLand, especially the downtown area, that draws businesses in.
Recently, the Downtown Community Redevelopment Agency met to rank three plans to give new life to the old Volusia County Jail that sits on the block between W. New York Ave. and Georgia Ave. The project is expected to enhance the area near the Artisan Alley area, a popular area off Woodland Blvd.
The wait is finally over. Local fans can finally rejoice. Chipotle is open! The Mexican grill chain with a DeLand location at 2335 S. Woodland Blvd, prides itself on sourcing high quality ingredients and responsible farming. Those amazing burritos are complemented perfectly with their one-of-a-kind tortilla chips, perfect for dipping in salsa or guacamole. Chipotle in DeLand is open 10:45 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. seven days a week.
The purchase of a commercial property by an individual (for investment purposes) or business (for either investment or business operation purposes) can be filled with the potential for missing key information that can be very costly to the buyer. Purchasers of commercial real estate are typically considered to be sophisticated parties, and whatever consumer protection laws may exist in a state for the protection of residential home purchasers seldom apply, if ever, to a commercial real estate purchaser. The adage of “buyer beware” particularly applies to commercial real estate purchases and warrants careful application of due diligence procedures and checklists.
Some of the commercial projects that have been ongoing in DeLand have finally been completed or are near completion, just in time for the holidays. We thought we would provide you with a commercial construction update, holiday edition.
A big appeal for those who visit DeLand is the history. There are so many stories about Henry DeLand, Jon B. Stetson, and the like. Now, visitors can take a step back in time when staying over night, thanks to the vision of the property’s new owner.
Daytona Beach is looking to revitalize it's downtown area, and it looks like insurance giant Brown & Brown, Inc. plans to be the catalyst. Last month the company unveiled plans to build a 10-story, $25 million riverfront headquarters on Beach Street. The new building will be home to 600 additional employees that Brown & Brown plans to hire, which will be an economic surge to East Volusia County.
The topic of cancer hits home with many of us, because most of us know a friend or family member that has been affected by the disease in some way. The DeLand community is very vocal about standing up for those who have been plagued by cancer, thanks to events like the MeStrong 5K. Local treatment facilities are abundant as well. Thankfully, DeLand is home to a new independent cancer treatment center.W. AKE MARY BLVD.
We have a few more commercial updates for the month of September. On North Woodland Blvd, a new Subway restaurant is being built next to the current location. According to the West Volusia Beacon, the new restaurant is expected to be completed and open by this fall.
Once again, DeLand has commercial construction projects that are visible along Woodland Blvd. Here are a few updates on three major projects.
West Volusia fans of Halifax Hospital, Daytona’s long-standing, state-owned hospital, will no longer need to drive to the east side of the county for emergency care. Halifax Health is building a freestanding emergency room in Deltona, but that is just the beginning. Drivers along the intersection of Interstate 4 and State Road 472 can currently see the status of the new facility that was originally slated to open December of 2016, but it appears the complex will not open until early 2017. This is only the first phase of what is expected to be a major medical hub for the healthcare provider.
If you are local, you’ve likely noticed the recent progress to new commercial construction projects around town such as Chick-fil-A, Centricare, Denny’s, etc. But what about the coming Walmart Neighborhood Market? You’ve likely seen the sign up for months, but no signs of progress.
Commercial business and development in DeLand continues to grow and prosper. There are several things happening in the area, and we thought we would give you an update on the top five projects that are under way.
There has been much chatter recently about new commercial buildings and businesses developing on the south side of DeLand. This is in large part due to several new businesses opening at or near Country Club Crossing Shopping Center such as the new Publix, Starbucks and soon to be Chick-fil-A. However, north DeLand, especially near the airport, is host to several commercial industries and businesses, and the potential of new businesses calling the area home is extremely likely.
It's true. There will be a hotel in Downtown DeLand. And not just any hotel, but a hotel flying under the flag of Marriott. Ready for the quick facts? Here's your briefing:
What if there was land in the Downtown DeLand corridor available for development? What if you wanted to take a small portion of your Powerball winnings, or were given a blank check to develop a property type of your choice?
What would you build? What could you build? |
