Lakeside Plaza presents an exceptional restaurant opportunity in Tampa’s thriving Carrollwood community, offering a highly visible 4,000-square-foot in-line anchor space along one of the area’s busiest roadways. Formerly home to Vallarta’s, a well-known local favorite, the location benefits from strong recognition, consistent traffic, and excellent frontage, all of which support long-term restaurant success.
The interior has been converted into a shell condition, creating a true blank canvas for a wide range of restaurant concepts. Supporting a large entry area for a hostess station and waiting space, the interior includes an expansive dining floor divided into functional sections ideal for tables, booths, and custom décor. A dedicated bar area with wet zoning allows for alcohol service, while the separate kitchen footprint provides efficient back-of-house operations. Outdoor dining is approved and available, enhancing the guest experience and expanding seating capacity. For interested parties, the space can be split into two functional suites, one approximately 3,000 square feet and the other approximately 1,000 square feet, furthering the property’s potential.
Lakeside Plaza is a busy neighborhood retail center with a diverse tenant mix that drives daily foot traffic, including Hotworx, Massage Heaven, El Parcero Bakery, and Enterprise Rent-a-Car. Strong co-tenancy supports steady daytime and evening visitation from residents and commuters.
Carrollwood is surrounded by established residential neighborhoods with convenient access to Interstate 275 and the Veterans Expressway, placing the property within a brief 20-minute drive of Downtown Tampa. More than 42,000 households within a 3-mile radius generate approximately $1.3 billion in total consumer spending, supported by average household incomes exceeding $106,000. Traffic counts of over 63,000 vehicles daily (VPD) further amplify visibility and brand exposure along this key corridor.
