A state law mandating replacement of underground storage tanks is driving gas station owners to sell at a time when interest is brisk in the properties most suitable for redevelopment.
Many are viewed as development opportunities but others are sold to continue as service stations at a time when gas prices are high.
In a second wave of South Florida sales and leases in less than a year, BP is offering 22 stations for sale, including three available for redevelopment.
About a third of the properties did not sell in a first offering that included 34 stations last August.
