Property Description

$70.60/SF - RARE SPECIALTY FLEX / WAREHOUSE / INDUSTRIAL / OFFICE - BROADCAST FACILITY - 21,246 SF ON 0.73 ACRES IN GATEWAY ST. PETERSBURG. Former home of WTOG-TV / Tampa Bay 44, this two-story E-1 (Employment 1) zoned building offers what almost nothing else on the market does: existing studio and control-room build-out, broadcast-grade electrical infrastructure, and an on-site communications tower. Improvements include a Caterpillar diesel standby generator with on-site fuel storage, dual UPS battery backup systems, two chillers with Trane air handling, and a freight elevator. Priced at $1,500,000, or $70.60 per square foot, the basis sits well below St. Petersburg industrial for-sale listing averages near $232/SF and office sale averages near $142/SF. Two clear paths for a buyer: occupy it as a media, production, podcast, esports, telecom, worship, or training facility with dramatically reduced time-to-occupancy, or reposition it as multi-tenant flex, office, manufacturing, warehouse, creative, or studio space at a $17-$19/SF NNN blended target. Under that repositioning, base-case stabilized NOI of $180,203 implies a 12.01% going-in cap rate on the purchase price, with base-case value near $2.57M at a 7.0% exit cap. E-1 zoning supports employment and light manufacturing uses, and the on-site tower may offer third-party antenna or telecom leasing upside subject to buyer verification of FCC and FAA matters. Location is a genuine advantage - less than a half mile to I-275 and Gandy Boulevard, roughly 12 minutes to Tampa International Airport, 15 minutes to downtown St. Petersburg and St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, and 20 minutes to downtown Tampa, within the Gateway / Mid-Pinellas employment corridor anchored by Raymond James, Jabil, and Franklin Templeton. Building is 21,246 SF heated / 22,022 SF gross, built 1965, pre-engineered metal with concrete block and stucco, approximately 20 surface parking spaces. Sold as-is. Offering memorandum, floor plans, equipment inventory, and photo package available to qualified buyers. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
