Straddling the North Hutchinson Island Causeway on the west side of the Indian River Lagoon lies Fort Pierce’s Hutchinson Place. This parcel offers more than 20 acres of land with over 3,000 feet of waterfront, perfectly poised to become one of the most unique working waterfront developments Florida has yet to see. A treasure, ripe with multi-use potential for both residential and commercial applications, Hutchinson Place has the extra value of having 100% of it’s land in a Federal Opportunity Zone. This allows investors special benefits such as the option to defer capital gains taxes, and the ability to recuperate investments tax-free amongst others. Located at the center of Fort Pierce’s rapid growth zone, Hutchinson Place offers high visibility, excellent accessibility, and the exclusivity of being the hub of one of the world’s up-and-coming mega yacht locations with one of the largest yacht lifts on the entire east coast.

Pristine and unspoiled, Fort Pierce and Hutchinson Island’s beaches are some of the area’s best. Each beach has a unique charm and a special magic and visitors and residents alike enjoy a seemingly endless coastline of access in clear, refreshing azure seas. Most of these beaches have ample parking and low density, making them some of the final frontier for beachgoers who enjoy the sanctuary of a quiet day at the beach.
Fort Pierce has made it on the map for one of the top deep-sea fishing areas in all of Florida. Bigger fish migrate closer to the shore here than in many areas of Florida, making access to the bigger fish easier for fishermen. Fishing is also great from land, as well as in and around the many barrier islands in the Indian River Lagoon. The Lagoon is over 156 miles of estuary with over 4,000 recorded species of plant and animal life, including mangroves, sea turtles, manatees, dolphins, tarpon, snook and trout. A fishing paradise both at sea and riverside.
The dazzling blue waters of the Fort Pierce Inlet are world-renowned by the yachting community but also cherished by residents and visitors to the area. The area has become a bustling hub of recreational activities, restaurants, and of course, access to the big blue ocean from the Indian River. 30 feet deep and over 100 feet wide, the channel also delivers access to Hutchinson Place, where it is perfectly situated to fulfill the need for more marina space and waterfront access for boaters.
Yachting has always been one of Florida’s primary commercial opportunities and recreational enjoyments. Storage, wet and dry slips, lifts, as well as a host of services for mega yachts already exist, but there is a need for more as the area continues to grow. The nearby Indian River Terminal is home to one of the largest yacht cranes on the entire East Coast, operated by Derecktor, a full-service maintenance, repair, refit and new construction facility, the area is already on the map and well-known for servicing mega yachts.
Charming, quaint, and nostalgic, Fort Pierce is a thriving small seaside town filled with art, history, unique period architecture, and restaurants to enjoy. With ample opportunities for shopping and a range of entertainment and activities from farmers markets to festivals, the main street of Downtown has been voted as the Most Idyllic and Historic Main Street & No. 1 Best Small Town Main Street in America.
Treasure Coast International Airport is a public airport located three miles northwest of the central business district of Fort Pierce. The airport hosts a Federal Inspection Station (FIS) administered by United States Customs & Border Protection, which makes it a frequent stop for private aircraft coming in and out of the Bahama Islands. In addition, Hutchinson Place is close to Palm Beach International and Orlando airports making it an easy destination for international travelers.
The Florida Department of Transportation is currently in the process of replacing the structurally deficient SR A1A Causeway Bridge over the Intercostal Waterway by 2027. The new bridge will have over 85 feet of vertical clearance and over 125 feet of horizontal clearance at the main waterway channel, making it an even more attractive port for mega-yachts and commercial vessels alike. The project grants two access points to Hutchinson Place area to allow for expected increases in traffic flow in the area.
