The 19,016sf retail plaza is prominently situated along one of St. Pete’s primary thoroughfares
ST. PETERSBURG, FL (June 14, 2021) – Franklin Street has arranged the sale of Central Plaza, a 19,016-square-foot, fully occupied shopping center in St. Petersburg for $5.1 million. The property is located along Central Avenue – one of the city’s primary retail corridors – and falls within a Qualified Opportunity Zone.
Franklin Street’s Retail Investment Sales Team of Anthony Suarez and Ryan Derriman represented the seller, a California-based private investor, in the sale. The buyer is a local investor who owns several other multi-tenant properties throughout Florida.
At 3270 Central Ave., Central Plaza boasts a highly accessible location near the intersection of Central Avenue and 34th Street / U.S.19. The property is surrounded by a rapidly growing number of multifamily units and 800 residents live within a 15-minute drive time.
The plaza features seven diverse, net-leased tenants with an average tenure of over 22 years. Tenants include Rent-A-Center, Amscot and Rainbow Clothing, each of which are among the strongest performing locations in the area.
“Central Plaza presented the opportunity to acquire a stable, low maintenance asset with strong in-place income and an excellent tenant mix,” said Suarez. “This property is well-positioned for continued success, and rents will be easy to replace if needed in the future, especially with a discount retailer.”
Added Derriman, “The area surrounding Central Plaza is benefitting from numerous multifamily developments, both under construction and proposed. Further, as the Tropicana Field site is redeveloped, this location will certainly increase in value.”
Additional property features include multiple points of access, ample parking and a brand-new roof.
