Find your next Tampa location
Tampa retail vacancy sits at 3.9% metro-wide — South Tampa and Westshore are sub-2%. The market has absorbed several million square feet of demand from a population that grew faster than its retail supply for the better part of a decade.
STAX represents tenants and landlords across the Tampa Bay area — from Hyde Park and South Howard to Westshore, Dale Mabry, and the emerging New Tampa and Riverview corridors.

Tampa Retail Leasing FAQ
What is NNN retail rent in Tampa?
Hyde Park Village and SoHo command $45–70 PSF NNN for ground-floor restaurant and retail. Westshore and Dale Mabry strip centers run $25–45 PSF. New Tampa and suburban corridors are in the $20–35 range. South Tampa is the tightest and most expensive submarket; suburban submarkets offer meaningfully lower rents with strong daytime populations from the office base.
Is Tampa a good market for national credit retail tenants?
Yes, and several national QSR and convenience brands have been actively expanding in Tampa Bay over the last three years. Population growth created demand, and while supply is catching up, there is still room for credit tenants on the right sites — particularly along Dale Mabry and the Wesley Chapel / New Tampa growth corridor.
Do you work in St. Petersburg and Clearwater as well?
Yes. The Pinellas County side of the bay — downtown St. Pete, Central Avenue, Clearwater Beach, Dunedin — is part of our territory. St. Pete in particular has one of the most active restaurant and experience-retail leasing markets in the region.
What space types are available in Tampa?
All formats. Hyde Park and SoHo are ground-floor urban. Dale Mabry is strip center. Westshore has mixed-use and office-adjacent retail. Pad sites along the major arterials for QSR and convenience. And there is a meaningful ground lease market for fuel and fast food on the suburban growth corridors.
