10,000-square-foot retail flex development coming to Bradenton

Construction has begun on a 10,000-square-foot retail flex development in Bradenton.

A group of local investors behind the $1.5 million development began work Aug. 5 on the 1.4-acre property just off State Road 64 and Interstate 75. Construction is expected to be done by the end of the year.

When complete, the center will include 360-degree access, roll-up doors and yard space, according to Ian Black Real Estate, which handled the sale and will manage leasing. It also will have a 1,000 square feet of office space.
