FORMER WTOG-TV / TAMPA BAY 44 BROADCAST CAMPUS — 21,246 SF SPECIALTY FLEX WITH ON-SITE COMMUNICATIONS TOWER AT $70.60/SF
Rare opportunity to acquire a purpose-built media and communications facility in St. Petersburg's Gateway corridor at a fraction of replacement cost. 365 105th Terrace NE is a 21,246 SF two-story specialty flex / office / broadcast building on 0.73 acres, zoned E-1 (Employment 1) in unincorporated Pinellas County. Built as the longtime home of WTOG-TV / Tampa Bay 44, the property retains studio space, control rooms, editing and support suites, hardened electrical infrastructure, and an on-site lattice communications tower.
Investment Highlights
$70.60/SF basis — well below St. Petersburg industrial for-sale listing averages near $232/SF and office sale averages near $142/SF.
Infrastructure you cannot rebuild at this price — Caterpillar diesel standby generator with on-site fuel storage, dual UPS / battery backup systems, two chillers with Trane air handling, freight elevator, and broadcast-grade power and cabling pathways.
On-site communications tower — legacy broadcast structure offering potential third-party antenna, microwave, or telecom leasing income (buyer to verify FCC registrations and structural capacity).
E-1 Employment zoning — supports employment, light manufacturing, flex, studio, and specialty communications uses without an office-only strategy.
Value-add pro forma — repositioned to multi-tenant flex/creative at a $17–$19/SF NNN blended target, base-case stabilized NOI of $180,203 supports a 12.01% going-in yield on the $1.5M price and roughly $2.57M of value at a 7.0% exit cap.
Two acquisition theses — owner-user media/production/creative buyer, or investor repositioning to multi-tenant flex, studio, warehouse, manufacturing and office.
