OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Ocala has become an ideal place to do commerce. Investors are aware of the area’s growing business presence, and Orlando real estate broker, investor and developer Darryl Carter of Maury Carter and Associates is the latest to recognize the area’s strong commercial footprint.
Carter recently purchased 49.35 acres of commercial property for $5.7 million from Marco Polo Builders Inc., with SVN McDonald and Company representing the seller in the transaction. The parcel is located on the north side of Highway 484, just west of Exit 341 off I-75.
“This acquisition is another example of our commitment to investing in high-growth areas,” says Darryl Carter, president of Maury Carter & Associates. “We see tremendous potential in this property as Ocala continues to attract businesses and investors seeking opportunities in Central Florida.”
The influx of commercial development, new-business creation and economic vitality have made the Ocala area the perfect place for enterprises and industrial activity. SVN McDonald and Company has been instrumental in driving growth along the corridor, helping establish it as a prime location for commerce. Over the past four years, the firm has brokered more than $34 million in land sales in this part of the county.
“It was a great pleasure working together with Daryl, Conrad, and the team at Maury L. Carter and Associates,” said Bartow McDonald IV, SVN McDonald and Company managing director. “Throughout the entire transaction, Daryl demonstrated the legendary character and acumen of his late father and investor Maury Carter, who was instrumental in many of the largest land deals that shaped Central Florida over the past 50 years.”
