Ocoee is the steady one. Prices are in line with the county, there is no distress on the tax roll, and the neighborhoods are established. It doesn’t make headlines, which is why the deals here go to the people who know it.

The Bottom Line on Ocoee

Ocoee sits between Orlando and Winter Garden, where SR 50, SR 408 and SR 429 meet. It has a regional mall, West Oaks, a downtown on Starke Lake that the city is redeveloping, and established neighborhoods with solid incomes.

Ocoee's commercial stock is mostly retail and service along SR 50, built around 2000, plus industrial and flex near the highway interchanges. Its median price per square foot is in line with the county's, and it has no distress on the roll. The open question is West Oaks: regional malls across the country are being reworked into mixed-use, and that is the largest redevelopment opportunity in the city.

Ocoee has about 9.1 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 30 arm's-length sales at a median $307 per square foot, close to the county's $307, helped by newer buildings. There were no distress transfers or bank-held parcels on the roll.

Watch West Oaks Mall. Regional malls are being rebuilt as mixed-use all over the country, and in Ocoee that is the biggest piece of commercial real estate that could change hands.
