Plaza Advisors brokers $4.65 million sale of Bay Pines Shopping Center in St. Petersburg, (Seminole), FL.

Bay Pines Shopping Center, St. Petersburg, FL

St. Petersburg, FL -- The center sold for $4.65 million to a publicly traded REIT. The Plaza Advisors team led by Jeff Berkezchuk and Jim Michalak represented the seller, Kitson & Partners.

Jim Michalak

 Bay Pines is a 9,110 square foot strip center that is an outparcel to a top-performing Walmart Supercenter. The center was 85% occupied at the time of sale, with notable tenants including Starbucks, Supercuts & Jimmy Johns.

The property is situated on 1.01 acres along Bay Pines Boulevard (U.S. Alt 19), directly across the street from the VA Hospital and features 40,500 vehicles per day.

 This completes a three-property portfolio in which Plaza Advisors represented Kitson & Partners. The adjacent Texas Roadhouse and Village Inn properties were previously sold in separate transactions to 1031 investors.  

 “The asset garnered significant investor interest due to its strong tenant mix and upside via lease-up of the vacant space” Berkezchuk said. “Unanchored strip centers have become a highly desirable property type with a bevy of investors entering into the market, making Bay Pines even more compelling.”
