Description
You can add another Tampa retail spot to the growing list of possible redevelopment projects - and this one is a real landmark.
There are reports that Britton Plaza in South Tampa, which has been a familiar retail presence for decades, could be on the market soon.
“My grandmother used to bring me out here,” said Cheryl Klein, shopping at the retail center.
Klein was born and raised in South Tampa. Now 73, she remembers shopping at Britton Plaza since she was a little girl.
“They had like a little Koi Pond,” she recalled, “And you sat on benches and watched the fish. And it was just really nice.”
There are reports that after decades of being owned by the same Ohio family, a Miami-based brokerage is about to put Britton Plaza on the market.
The property, around 30 acres, is considered prime South Tampa real estate.
“A property of this size and location would be transformative with the right plan,” said Tampa Real Estate Broker Cristan Fadal.
Brokers are already speculating about what might happen if the plaza does sell.
Perhaps it would become a mixed-use development combining retail, commercial and residential space - similar to the Midtown development just north of Britton Plaza.
