What's happening - Real Estate - Change is coming to the old Calico Corners – building reported sold for $1,650,000

I have no information on what will go in there, but there is an update posted as to the recent sale – the near landmark Calico Corners building 

OK, so I hadn’t been there in a while, but they were happy trips, looking for materials for drapes and other items for our nursery room(s). Good times.

$1,650,000 was the closing price for the 5,636-square-foot, two-story retail building on just over a quarter-acre lot at 16810 S. Dixie Highway in Palmetto Bay.

See LAW.COM, dbr Daily Business Review, July 20, 2020, Palmetto Bay Retail Building Trades for $1.65 Million, by Lidia Dinkova, that is if you are a subscriber and therefore able to get past the paywall.

NOTE: Potential buyers often meet with officials in the village planning office to discuss their plans for a property, as part of pre-sale due diligence. Again, I am not in the loop as to whether such a meeting occurred in this specific instance or what was discussed if there was a meeting. We will, as they say; “wait and see”.

POD - new business opens on Old Cutler Road - just for fun. I passed.

Who says the current administration in Palmetto Bay is not business friendly? 

A kind reader send in a photo that proves that allegation wrong! 

A new business is an operation on old Cutler Road. Just in time for your summer reading. Also advertised are the sale of "Marvel Comic Books" but the banner advertisement would be an impediment to my stopping by to look for classic comic books. An example of a business decision that affect customers.
