The flat, 3.56-acre, roadside lot on

Commercial General and listed for
$930,000 by the Hale family’s long-
time broker Terry Torres, president
and CEO of SLC Commercial Bird Re-
alty Group.

Long a familiar icon of the world-
renowned Indian River citrus indus-
try and a popular, bustling retail and
packing operation, the 25,500-square-
foot building, which began as the Hale
family fruit stand in 1947, succumbed
four years ago to changes in the citrus
and retail industries.

With windows boarded up and road-
side sign faded and drooping, it became
an emblem of the decline of the citrus
industry here. The Hale citrus business
itself is no longer in the Hale family,
and the current owners said they sim-
ply could not “justify a permanent re-
tail presence” any longer. Instead, the
company has shifted primarily to on-
line sales at halegroves.com.

After the Wabasso operation closed,
the property and cavernous old pack-
ing house were put on the market.
Despite its shabby appearance, the
building’s bones were solid, accord-
ing to Torres – the floor was concrete
and the framework was mostly steel.

Buyers made offers, but nothing
the sellers were willing to accept, and
the decision was made to offer the
property for lease instead of sale at
$127,500 per year.

Again, there were lots of nibbles
but, ultimately, no bites, and so the
roadside parcel was put back on the
market, minus the building.

Torres says “grocery stores, phar-
macies and fast food restaurants” are
businesses that might consider the site.

In addition to the Hale Groves prop-
erty, Torres has another 23 adjacent
acres listed for sale for $3 million. That
land, north and west of the former
packing house site, includes a water-
front section on the Indian River La-
goon. Zoned multifamily residential,
the land could accommodate up to
140 units – which, if planned or built,
would make the commercial property
more attractive to retail outlets.

the Navy at the end of World War II, he
