UNIQUE RARE SURVIVING GEM — CEDAR STREET, DAYTONA BEACH
A truly rare opportunity to own approximately 7,020 sq. ft. of land (about 156' x 45') that remained independently owned while much of the surrounding property was acquired and assembled for the major Cici & Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, Science & History redevelopment.
This is what makes this parcel special: it remains OUTSIDE the Museum project boundary, yet it sits beside an area being transformed with new architecture, extensive landscaping, improved infrastructure, cultural attractions, and a major new destination for Daytona Beach.
THE REDEVELOPMENT IS REAL — NOT SPECULATION.
Official City of Daytona Beach records identify DEV2026-074, an approximately 62.9-acre Planned Development for the new museum facility and associated infrastructure. The Brown’s official future-campus plans include expanded galleries and learning spaces, a 60-foot planetarium dome, a new Visitor Nexus, modern collections facilities, children’s experiences, indoor/outdoor areas, landscaping, and major campus improvements.
The Museum closed in 2026 for the transformation, with 2027 falling directly within the active redevelopment/construction period and the transformed campus anticipated to reopen in 2028.
This means a buyer has the opportunity to acquire this rare surviving parcel while the surrounding transformation is still taking place — not after it is finished.
IMPORTANT: THIS LAND REMAINS OUTSIDE THE PROJECT.
Parcel 5339-01-38-0170 is separately owned and outside the Museum development boundary. City survey-review correspondence also states that the current development applications do not show plans to close access to what is monumented as Cedar Street.
HISTORICAL ACCESS DOCUMENTATION
The property has an unusually extensive historical record. Recorded deeds and supporting documents identify a historical 45-foot perpetual ingress/egress system, together with longstanding aerial and documentary evidence of access in the Cedar Street area. Deeds, historical aerials, parcel records, and access research are available for serious buyers. Exact present-day legal access and boundaries should be independently confirmed by title and survey.
NO IDENTIFIED FLOOD ZONE
The parcel is not located in the identified flood zone. Buyer should independently verify current FEMA and local flood information.
THE VISION
Imagine owning a rare surviving piece of Daytona Beach surrounded by beautiful new landscaping, improved infrastructure, major cultural investment, and a newly transformed museum campus.
For the right buyer, this could become a future dream-home site or other permitted residential use, subject to City approval, zoning, setbacks, access, utilities, and development requirements. It may also appeal to someone who wants to secure and hold a scarce parcel while the 2027 redevelopment continues around it.
