The unit has already been fully demolished to a clean shell and comes with approved plans for a new medical office build-out — the demo work is done, the plans are approved, and the space is ready to build.

Ideal for a physician or practice group seeking a turnkey path to ownership, or an investor looking to deliver a lease-ready medical asset in one of South Florida's most sought-after healthcare submarkets. Delivered as a blank canvas, the space lets a buyer build out exactly to their specifications without the expense or delay of interior demolition. The property enjoys an outstanding location just minutes from Boca Raton Regional Hospital and major routes including I-95 and Glades Road, with abundant parking and excellent visibility. Owning versus leasing lets an end-user build long-term equity while controlling their space, and the surrounding tenant mix of medical and professional users makes this a stable, income-friendly hold for investors. Interior demo complete, approved medical plans in hand, and a prime location make this a standout offering with immediate build potential. Schedule your private tour today.
