The property is located within the City of St. Petersburg’s CCT-2 (Central Commercial – Traditional) zoning district, one of the most flexible and desirable commercial designations along Central Avenue. This zoning supports a wide range of high-demand uses including banking and financial services, medical and dental offices, professional services, executive offices, service-oriented retail, restaurants, wellness concepts, and specialty food and beverage. The breadth of permitted uses allows an owner or investor to adapt the space over time as market demand evolves, providing long-term flexibility and protecting future value.

In addition, the property’s placement within an Activity Center and the SunRunner Overlay significantly enhances its appeal and long-term positioning. Activity Center designation reflects the City’s intent to concentrate commercial activity, infrastructure investment, and pedestrian-friendly development in this corridor, while the SunRunner bus rapid transit line provides direct connectivity, increased visibility, and improved accessibility for employees and customers. Together, these planning overlays reduce entitlement risk, expand the potential tenant and buyer pool, and support higher-intensity commercial use, making this location especially attractive to owner-users, national tenants, and long-term investors.
