This Retail Site is located on busy, US Highway 19 in unincorporated Pinellas County. The area is a strong retail corridor adjacent to Shopping Centers, Clearwater Airport, and three incorporated cities.

The building features strong, concrete-block construction with I-beam and steel joists supporting a second story office. Currently, four bathrooms, four electric meters, and four entrances allow flexibility for up to four users. The 8,000 sf fenced and paved lot provides parking for approximately 50 cars or up to eight semi trailers. An existing double-sided sign (+/- 70sf) and awning (+/- 400sf) provide direct advertising exposure to Hwy 19.
