808 8th Avenue Dr W - Seller Financing - Low Down @ Market Interest 1.04 Acres of Residential Land Offered at $4,399,000 in Bradenton, FL 34205

For sale with aggressive seller financing, including a 40-year amortization at a low market interest rate.

One block from the Bradenton Courthouse and Keeton's Center, the iconic icehouse facility includes 1.04 acres of land for apartment/condo/loft development, street-level retail, the long-time Reddi Ice distribution business, assets (vehicles and FF&E), and the 8,800-square-foot industrial brick building at 8th Avenue Drive W. The property is situated in a dynamic, mixed-use corridor near residential neighborhoods, professional offices, retail, and civic institutions.

In operation since 1902, and as Metro Ice, it remains a vital part of Bradenton's industrial and cultural landscape. It's one of the few remaining Florida facilities producing 300-pound ice blocks. The icehouse serves major retailers, including Walmart Supercenter and Circle K, and supports restaurants, construction sites, and event planners. Beyond commercial use, it plays a role in community events, from snow parties to ice sculpture displays, making it a cherished part of Bradenton's identity.

Plans for the property include adaptive redevelopment, transforming the space into modern industrial-style lofts with ground-floor retail and parking. The design would combine residential, commercial, and parking elements, while preserving the building's industrial character through the use of exposed brickwork and steel finishes.

The 1.04-acre property, featuring paved street frontage and public utilities, is zoned T5 for residential, office, or mixed-use development (subject to approval). It's an ideal opportunity for developers or investors looking to create something innovative while respecting the site's history.

Located minutes from Manatee Memorial Hospital, Bradenton City Hall, and the Riverwalk, with easy access to US Highway 41 and State Road 64, the site is situated in one of Manatee County's most promising redevelopment zones.
