Executive Summary

Welcome to Tesla Gainesville — the EV crown jewel of North Central Florida. This brand-new, 50,414 SF Sales, Service & Delivery Center embodies Tesla’s next-gen rollout strategy, anchoring the city’s growing “Auto Row” corridor with a statement property. Sitting on nearly 7 acres with bold monument signage, it’s not just a dealership — it’s a regional hub for the future of transportation, positioned less than 3 miles from the University of Florida’s 55,000-strong student and staff base.

• EV Market Surge — Florida ranks #2 in Tesla purchases nationwide, fueling local demand.

Strategic Angle

For investors, this asset delivers credit-backed stability with tech-growth upside. Tesla sites are rare and tightly controlled by the company, which selects only premium high-traffic, regional access corridors for long-term strategic plays. Gainesville’s centrality on I-75 — linking Orlando, Tampa, Atlanta — cements this location as a regional EV command center. The Opportunity Zone designation adds a layer of tax efficiency, making this deal a dual play: a hedge and a growth driver.

Bottom Line

This isn’t just a building — it’s a bet on the future of mobility. With Tesla locked into a new-construction facility on long-term NNN terms, investors capture brand power, cash flow certainty, and market growth momentum in a single, high-visibility Florida asset.
