Tampa Bay-Lakeland

A 69-acre site in Ruskin, in southern Hillsborough County, has been sold for $3 million.

The buyer, Sarasota-based developer Jebcore Cos., says it intends “to transform the site into a modern, multi-use waste management campus to support municipal solid waste, recycling, composting and construction and demolition debris operations.”

Jebcore bought the site, 3030 Cockroach Bay Road, from Yu An Farms. The firm, in a statement. says it also invested $1.5 million in planning and due diligence, bringing the total investment to $4.5 million. The parcel is valued at over $40 million, reflecting its location and development potential, Jebcore says.

With approvals now secured, Jebcore officials say the site will either be triple-net (NNN) leased to qualified operators or sold. “This project presented a unique opportunity given its zoning complexity, high barriers to entry and the scale of potential uses,” Clint Conway, managing member at JBCC Development, a company within Jebcore Cos., says in the statement.
