The historic Ice House, a rare gem in Downtown Bradenton’s industrial and cultural landscape, has been in continuous operation since 1902. The Icehouse, trading as Metro Ice, has been a vital part of the community for over a century. As one of the last remaining facilities in Florida still producing 300-pound blocks of ice, it has carved out a unique role in both logistics and local tradition.

Renowned for its consistent production and reliable service, the ice house supplies major retailers like Walmart and Circle K, while also supporting restaurants, construction sites, and event planners throughout the region. But its impact goes beyond commercial distribution— The Icehouse plays a beloved role in community events, from snow parties to ice sculpture displays that bring a touch of winter wonder to Florida. These experiences have helped cement its identity as more than just an industrial facility—it’s a nostalgic and enduring part of Bradenton’s character.

Looking ahead, the vision for this property is a thoughtful and respectful adaptive redevelopment—one that honors the legacy of the Ice House while bringing new life and energy to the site. The proposed concept includes transforming the space into modern industrial-style lofts, with ground-floor retail storefronts and a parking garage integrated into the lower levels. This multi-use design would allow for a vibrant blend of residential living, local commerce, and accessible parking—all wrapped in an architectural style that reflects the site’s industrial heritage. Exposed brickwork, steel finishes, and preserved elements of the original structure would pay tribute to the building’s roots, blending history with contemporary urban design.

The property consists of 2 parcels and spans approximately 1.04 acres, featuring level topography, paved street frontage, and public utilities. Zoned T5, it supports a wide range of flexible uses—residential, office, or mixed-use—subject to municipal approval, making it an ideal opportunity for developers or investors looking to create something both innovative and respectful of the past.

Just minutes from Manatee Memorial Hospital, Bradenton City Hall, and the Riverwalk, with convenient access to US-41 and SR-64, this site is uniquely positioned in one of Manatee County’s most promising redevelopment zones. Don’t miss the chance to build upon a historic foundation while shaping a bold, community-driven future in the heart of Bradenton.
