917 North Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd

Investment Overview

Rare opportunity to acquire a single-story beachfront retail building located directly on Fort Lauderdale Beach Boulevard / A1A in the heart of Fort Lauderdale’s premier Central Beach submarket. The property consists of an approximately 1,424-square-foot commercial building situated on a compact 1,639-square-foot lot, offering direct frontage along one of South Florida’s most recognized beach corridors. Public records identify the property as a restaurant-style commercial building originally built in 1955 and renovated in 1968, making it a true small-format beach retail asset in an irreplaceable coastal location. The building is currently occupied by El Taquito, an established Mexican restaurant operating at 917 N Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. The property’s active restaurant use adds strong appeal for investors seeking an income-producing beach-corridor asset or for buyers looking to secure a highly visible location in a supply-constrained market. El Taquito’s presence aligns well with the surrounding hospitality, tourism, and dining environment that defines Fort Lauderdale Beach. Positioned just south of Sunrise Boulevard, the property benefits from outstanding exposure to both vehicular and pedestrian traffic generated by nearby hotels, restaurants, nightlife venues, and beachgoers. Its placement directly on A1A gives it lasting value in one of Broward County’s highest-profile beachfront corridors. This is an attractive opportunity for investors seeking a compact, well-located retail asset with a recognizable tenant use and long-term beachfront positioning.
