WestShore Plaza is an enclosed regional shopping center located at 250 WestShore Plaza, Tampa, FL 33609, in the heart of the Westshore business district. The property spans approximately 1.09 million square feet of gross leasable area, featuring over 100 retailers. Anchor tenants include Macy's, JCPenney, and Dick's Sporting Goods, complemented by specialty stores such as H&M, Old Navy, LOFT, Francesca's Collection, New Balance, and Sunglass Hut.
Dining options encompass Besito Mexican, Bourbon Street Cafe, and Caribbean Paradise Smoothies, with entertainment via AMC 14 Theatres. The mall benefits from three parking structures offering 2,815 spaces. In the Westshore submarket, characterized by 35 shopping centers totaling over 8 million square feet, the area maintains a low vacancy rate of 1.3% as of Q2 2025, with asking rents at $38.94 per square foot NNN, reflecting a 4.8% year-over-year increase.
Retail sales in the district grew 6.4% from Q1 2023, outperforming the Tampa Bay average by 47%. Demographics include an affluent population with median household income exceeding $85,000, driven by 105,000 local employees in professional services and finance.
Accessibility is strong via Interstate 275 and proximity to Tampa International Airport, supporting high footfall from commuters and tourists.
Leasing advantages include stable occupancy around 94% for enclosed malls, positive net absorption of +40,474 square feet in Westshore, and a supply-constrained market with minimal new construction. However, the property is approved for redevelopment as 'Westshore 54,' a 54-acre mixed-use project, introducing potential operational disruptions but long-term opportunities in a growing metro with 3.7% population increase.

Insights
Demographics and Accessibility
The Westshore district targets affluent professionals and families, with a trade area population of about 1.2 million and median household income over $85,000, higher than the Tampa average. Daytime population swells due to 105,000 employees in business services. Accessibility via I-275 and SR 60 facilitates over 50 million annual vehicle miles nearby, enhancing footfall for retailers. Proximity to Tampa International Airport (2 miles) draws travelers, but traffic congestion during peak hours poses access challenges, potentially impacting impulse shopping.
Tenant Mix and Occupancy
Tenant mix balances department stores, fashion apparel (H&M, Old Navy), sporting goods (Dick's), and dining, appealing to middle-to-upper-income shoppers. Enclosed mall vacancy stands at 6.2% region-wide, implying 93.8% occupancy, though WestShore Plaza's rate may be influenced by redevelopment preparations, excluding it from some submarket figures at 98.6% overall. Operational quality includes modern amenities and events, but aging infrastructure in parts could require investments. Strong preleasing in the pipeline supports leasing stability.
Competition and Market Risks
Competition arises from upscale International Plaza (1 mile away) with luxury brands, diverting high-end traffic, and emerging mixed-use developments like Midtown Tampa. Market saturation in fashion categories exists, but low regional vacancy of 3.5% and robust absorption indicate demand. Redevelopment approval for Westshore 54 introduces risks of temporary closures or tenant relocations, potentially weakening short-term performance amid rising rents (up 35% over five years). Positive factors include 2.0% retail sales growth and investment sales at $270 per square foot.
