"This is a fantastic opportunity for a developer seeking waterfront property with amazing views in an emerging upscale area that's a cost-effective waterfront option, with condos or hotels making the most sense in this Riviera Dunes DRI," said Matt Kezar, broker associate at Ian Black Real Estate, who represents the Riviera Dunes Way property, and also the 150 Riviera Dunes Way property with Ian Black Real Estate Partner Michele Fuller. "Waterfront commercial/multifamily properties are scarce and in high demand, making this opportunity especially rare."

Located on the Manatee River, Riviera Dunes is one of the largest master-planned communities in Bradenton and Palmetto and offers extensive boating and fishing opportunities, with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay. The area also offers an easy commute to St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota and Bradenton, located near U.S. 301 and U.S. 41, and minutes from Interstate 75.
