Beach Park To Get New Grocery Store?
June 20th, 2007 categories: South Tampa, South Tampa Neighborhoods, Tampa Real Estate, Tampa Waterfront Homes
So it seems a developer is suggesting a 4-story building with the main tenant being a grocer, on the north end of South Tampa’s Beach Park neighborhood. The building would be at the corner of Kennedy and Gardenia, presumably where The Sports Authority now sits.
Rumor has it, that Publix would occupy the top floor. Top floor for a grocery store? That’s the plan of developer Les Porter who says “That market is in need of a grocery store pretty badly”. Right you are Mr Porter. Have you been to the Publix at Neptune and Dale Mabry lately. What a zoo. Before 10am or after 7pm is my rule. And since Kash N’ Karry departed from the Beach Park area a few years ago, that Publix is the closet grocery option for residents of the northwest quadrant of the Interbay Peninsula. Not that Beach Parkers frequented that Kash N’ Karry, but it was an option.
Back to the proposed 4th floor grocery building. Plans are for a 65 foot building that would house specialty retail on the first floor, offices or health/gym facilities on 2 and 3, and the grocer on the 4th. The building would also have 900 parking spaces. The City Council will consider the project in late October.
Hopefully Mr. Porter is aware of the Beach Park Neighborhood Association, which is very watchful over any new development within or bordering the area. The Association has been instrumental in getting a number of different area proposals voted down within recent years. The City Council’s ears are usually open to what this group has to say about nearby development. Anything that may hint on increasing traffic through the neighborhood would get vehement opposition (my opinion).
So good luck on this one Porter development. My gut tells me that Beach Park will welcome this idea as long as the neighborhood will not be affected by any adverse traffic flow patterns. The grocery store would be a welcome addition to the area.
