OCALA, FL—The Florida Thoroughbred Breeders’ & Owners’ Association (FTBOA) offers a rare opportunity to operate alongside the organization at their prestigious headquarters in the heart of the Horse Capital of the World®.
The partial lease opportunity emerges as FTBOA has modernized its operations. The organization, which once maintained substantial in-house printing operations for The Florida Horse Magazine and Wire to Wire daily news, has dramatically reduced its office footprint through enhanced digital media strategies, improved website and online functionality, and substantial technology investments.
“Our increasing operational efficiencies have created an exceptional opportunity for one or two strategic partners to join us in this landmark location and awesome facility,” said Lonny Powell, CEO of FTBOA. The flexible arrangement allows for negotiable office spaces and facilities tailored to complement FTBOA’s operations.
The available space features executive-grade facilities including multiple offices, a professional training room, conference room/library, warehouse/media studio, and breakroom. The building’s character-rich design celebrates decades of equine industry excellence while providing modern operational capabilities.
Prime Location in America’s Equine Epicenter
Located adjacent to Ocala International Airport and Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company, the property sits surrounded by world-renowned training facilities, breeding operations, and equine estates, offering tenants premium exposure and effortless access for industry leaders, international clients, and visitors.
“This isn’t just office space – it’s a landmark that enhances credibility within Florida’s equine community,” notes commercial real estate broker Vicky Bryant Morrison of Bricks & Mortar Real Estate, who is representing the property. “It’s ideal for organizations looking to blend modern operations with a legacy that honors the horse industry.”
Morrison emphasizes that the flexible lease structure allows potential tenants to operate alongside FTBOA in the nation’s most distinguished equine region.
The opportunity represents a unique chance for select organizations to reside alongside FTBOA within a building that has long served as a cornerstone of Florida’s Thoroughbred community. FTBOA seeks professional partners whose operations would complement their mission while maintaining the property’s distinguished character.
