290 S Meridian Ave
Tampa, FL 33602 Channelside

Opportunity is knocking for prime restaurant space at 290 S Meridian Avenue in Tampa's Channel District, situated on the ground level of the iconic Towers of Channelside. Spanning 9,858 rentable square feet, this second-generation restaurant opportunity occupies the base of a 29-story dual-tower condominium building, offering a rare leasehold in a location where availability is limited, and demand continues to grow.
   
Expansive interior dining areas are complemented by two covered outdoor spaces for additional seating or mixed-use concepts. A second-level mezzanine area accommodates private dining, events, or overflow seating, while a commercial kitchen and multiple bar areas support the property's food and beverage operations. With significant reconfiguration, hospitality leaders can transform this property into a flagship destination that redefines their presence in Tampa.
   
Exceptional walkability offers built-in exposure from on-site residential units and surrounding destinations, including a wealth of hotels. Steps from the Benchmark International Arena, formerly known as Amalie Arena, and Sparkman Wharf, the location benefits from year-round event traffic, concerts, and waterfront activities that attract millions of visitors annually.
   
Future development, including the first phase of the Water Street project and the planned Ybor Harbor redevelopment, continues to elevate the Channel District as a dynamic Tampa neighborhood. Additional demand is driven by the University of Tampa student population, downtown office workforce, and Tampa General Hospital. Strong demographics support the market, with the population projected to grow at a rate of 2.1% annually through 2029, following a 3.6% increase from 2020 to 2024.
