6409 S DALE MABRY HIGHWAY, Tampa, FL

Own an irreplaceable hard corner in the heart of South Tampa. Positioned on the signalized corner of S Dale Mabry Highway and Interbay Boulevard — one of South Tampa's busiest commercial arteries, carrying 50,000 vehicles every day, with over 338' of frontage on S Dale Mabry Hwy — 6409 S Dale Mabry Hwy is a rare income-producing and redevelopment-ready commercial property in a supply-constrained, high-barrier-to-entry submarket. Operating today as the Base Motel by OYO, the property delivers an in-place hospitality foundation while offering significant upside for an investor, owner-user, or developer to reposition or redevelop one of the last value-priced corners on the corridor. It sits a stone's throw from MacDill Air Force Base, Picnic Island, Gadsden Park, Bayshore Boulevard, and the Gandy connector to St. Petersburg. The property comprises a ±7,044 SF concrete block building (±5,688 SF heated/conditioned) situated on a ±0.41-acre (±18,064 SF) corner parcel, zoned CG — Commercial General, City of Tampa. Originally built in 1969 and renovated in 2000, the building is configured as a single-story, 14-room limited-service motel with exterior corridors, high-speed internet, and an asphalt-paved parking field with 24 spaces, plus a built-in on-site residential apartment with Central AC. The CG zoning, corner exposure, generous frontage, and flexible footprint make the site adaptable to a wide range of commercial uses well beyond its current hospitality operation — such as live/work professional offices and studios or retail suites — with no Airbnb or short-term-rental restrictions. For a developer or owner-user, the real story is the dirt and the zoning. The surrounding stretch of Dale Mabry is dominated by strong-performing retail and strip-center real estate, and recent qualified strip-center sales on the corridor have traded at roughly $245 to $346 per building square foot — with premium Dale Mabry and Kennedy corridor products reaching well above that. Against the subject's modest in-place basis as an older motel, that spread represents a clear path to value creation through repositioning, renovation, or ground-up redevelopment into higher-and-better commercial use such as retail, restaurant, office, or mixed commercial. Location is the enduring advantage. South Tampa is one of the Tampa Bay region's most affluent and desirable submarkets, anchored by MacDill Air Force Base — a major regional employer roughly five minutes south — and surrounded by established, high-income residential neighborhoods including Ballast Point, Bayshore Beautiful, Gandy, and Port Tampa. The immediate West Interbay trade area combines dense rooftops, strong household incomes, and steady daytime traffic, while Dale Mabry itself functions as the spine of South Tampa retail. Demand for well-located commercial real estate in this corridor has remained durable through cycles, and infill opportunities on a true hard corner rarely come to market.
