Corner Property Near LECOM Park Trades as Bradenton Market Continues Strong Investment Activity
BRADENTON, FL | February 4, 2026 – SVN Commercial Advisory Group Senior Advisors Tony Veldkamp, CCIM and Matt Fenske have successfully closed the sale of 1121 14th Street West in Bradenton, Florida for $1,250,000. The corner asset sits at the signalized intersection of 14th Street West and 12th Avenue West and features a 1,316 ± square foot building constructed in 1970 with an office and two-bay repair shop on nearly one acre of land, including a fenced rear lot.
Malpica Investments, LLC, purchased the high-visibility used car lot from Erica Grell, with plans to continue operations as a local car sales facility under new ownership. Carolina Grunbaum with Keller Williams Capital Realty in Coral Gables, Florida, represented the buyer, while Veldkamp and Fenske represented the seller.
The property’s location in the City of Bradenton’s Village of the Arts positions it within a growing commercial corridor, less than a half mile from both LECOM Park, the Spring Training home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and Downtown Bradenton.
“Bradenton continues to see strong investor interest in well-positioned retail properties,” said Tony Veldkamp, CCIM. “This corner location offers the visibility and access that automotive operations require, and the buyer recognized the value in continuing a proven use at an established site in a market experiencing consistent growth.”
“The transaction reflects Bradenton’s robust commercial market fundamentals,” added Matt Fenske. “Properties with high traffic counts and good visibility remain highly sought after, and we’re seeing sustained demand across multiple asset classes as businesses continue to invest in the Manatee County market.”
The Bradenton market continues to benefit from population growth, downtown revitalization efforts, and proximity to major employment centers, driving commercial real estate activity across retail, office, and industrial sectors.
