Early Education Building – Palatka, FL

Early Education Building
1210 Saint Johns Avenue, Palatka, FL 32177, USA

Sands Investment Group is pleased to exclusively offer for sale the 7,324 SF Early Education Building Asset located at 1210 Saint Johns Avenue in Palatka, FL. Situated just over a mile from Moseley Elementary School and surrounded by an established residential community with nearby schools and high schools, the property benefits from a strong local demand base. Just 3 miles away, Georgia-Pacific’s Palatka mill, Putnam County’s largest private employer, broke ground in March 2026 on an $83 million, 400,000 SF warehouse expansion, reinforcing the area’s economic strength and supporting the property’s long-term investment potential.

  • Licensed Care Shortage: Putnam County has ~5,160 children under the age of 6, including ~3,150 living in households where all parents are in the labor force. However, the county has only 2,195 licensed child care slots, which also serve school-age children. This significant gap between the number of young children potentially needing care and available licensed capacity highlights strong demand for additional child care facilities in the area.
  • Regional Hospital: HCA Florida Putnam Hospital, a 99-bed acute care hospital ~3.1 miles from the site, provides emergency, surgical, cardiology, orthopedic, and women’s services around the clock. Hospital shift workers are a core customer base for nearby childcare.
  • Built-In Family Demand: Located just over a mile from Moseley Elementary, the property sits within an established residential trade area with several nearby schools, including School of the Heights ~1.2 miles away, James A. Long Elementary ~1.3 miles away, and Palatka Junior Senior High School less than 2 miles away.
  • Industrial Employment Base: Georgia-Pacific’s Palatka Mill, ~3 miles from the site, is Putnam County’s largest private employer and broke ground in March 2026 on an $83 million, 400,000 SF warehouse expansion. CertainTeed, ~6.6 miles north, completed a gypsum plant expansion in October 2025 that doubled capacity and is adding 110 jobs. Countywide employment reached 17,617 in 2025, up 7.5% from 2019.
  • Growing College Campus: St. Johns River State College’s Palatka campus is ~2.3 miles from the site. College enrollment grew ~15% over 3 years to 11,043 students in 2024 to 2025, and the Palatka campus opened Beck Hall, a $20 million residence hall, in August 2025.
