Description

Located along Tampa’s high-traffic North 40th Street corridor (±37,500 vehicles per day), this 0.28-acre site offers strong visibility, full utilities, and direct access to a dense daytime population supported by USF, Busch Gardens, AdventHealth Tampa, and Moffitt Cancer Center. The surrounding trade area features a mix of national QSR, convenience, and service retailers serving both residential and employment-based demand. With proximity to Fowler Avenue, Busch Boulevard, and I-275, the property sits within one of Tampa’s most active infill submarkets for small-format retail and drive-through redevelopment.Small commercial sites with confirmed buildable dimensions and drive-through potential remain scarce across central Tampa, creating a strong opportunity for a QSR, coffee, or medical user seeking visibility near major employment centers and the University of South Florida. This 0.28-acre parcel features ±150 feet of frontage along North 40th Street and measures approximately 150’ × 82’, exceeding the City of Tampa’s minimum width and area requirements for new commercial construction. Zoned CG (Commercial General), the property supports a broad range of retail, office, and service-based uses, including drive-through and single-tenant development. The site offers level topography, full utilities, and excellent exposure along a proven commercial corridor surrounded by national retailers and major institutions. Its flexible zoning and infill location make it ideal for an owner-user, small retail pad, or long-term investment hold, while proximity to USF, Busch Gardens, and AdventHealth Tampa underpins consistent demand and value stability. A small non-permanent shed is currently on-site and may be removed by the seller prior to closing at the buyer’s request.
