Pad-Ready Comm Lot Near USF & Busch Gardens

Small commercial sites with drive-through potential remain scarce across central Tampa, creating a strong opportunity for a QSR, coffee, or medical user seeking visibility near major employment anchors and the University of South Florida. This 0.28-acre parcel offers an excellent infill location within Tampa’s city limits and is zoned CG (Commercial General), allowing a wide range of retail, office, and service-based uses—including drive-through and single-tenant development. The site features level topography, full utilities, and direct frontage on North 40th Street, providing high visibility and access along a proven commercial corridor. Its compact size and flexible zoning make it ideal for an owner-user, small retail pad, or future redevelopment hold, while proximity to USF, Busch Gardens, and AdventHealth Tampa supports sustained user demand and long-term value. A small, non-permanent shed is currently on-site and may be removed by the seller prior to closing at the buyer’s request.

The property sits less than half a mile from Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and minutes from the University of South Florida, AdventHealth Tampa, and Moffitt Cancer Center—three major employment anchors driving daily traffic and professional demand. Nearby Seminole Heights adds a creative energy with restaurants, breweries, and neighborhood amenities. Direct access to I-275 and Fowler Avenue connects the area to Downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, and the broader metro in under fifteen minutes, making this corridor an ideal setting for office and service-oriented investment.
