Hillside Center at 1506 54th Avenue N in Saint Petersburg offers a rare opportunity to lease a highly visible, completely remodeled retail space in a dynamic and well-trafficked location. Next to a busy service station and surrounded by a thriving residential community, the building benefits from a prime corner position with outstanding frontage along 16th Street and 54th Avenue N. Zoned CCS-1, one of the most desirable and flexible zoning categories in the city, the property allows for various uses including restaurant, coffee shop, bank, microbrewery, office, retail, health club, studio, light manufacturing, and more.
The available end-cap unit features 2,250 square feet of stylish, fully renovated interior space with 700 square feet of dedicated outdoor area. This space has been upgraded to include central air conditioning with exposed ductwork, 11-foot ceilings with exposed metal rafters, restored terrazzo floors, updated lighting, new baseboards, and two fully remodeled ADA-compliant restrooms. Additional conveniences include a private office, dual HVAC systems, three-phase electric service, and rear access through an overhead garage door. The layout and visibility make this ideal for a café, fitness concept, creative office, or neighborhood retail destination.
What sets this offering apart is its drive-thru capability, allowed by right, a rarity in Saint Petersburg, especially for an existing structure. With direct access from the 54th Avenue/Interstate 275 exit and exposure to approximately 24,000 cars daily (VPD), Hillside Center is prepared for new business. Recent capital improvements, including a brand-new roof and parking lot (2023), further enhance the appeal of this turnkey opportunity.
