Commercial Real Estate
| 2026 tax roll | 33534 | Hillsborough County |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial & industrial parcels | 236 | 21,575 |
| Building area (million SF) | 4.33 | 330.43 |
| Median year built | 1983 | 1984 |
| Arm’s-length sales | 6 | 905 |
| Median sale $/SF | $375 | $272 |
| Distress transfers / bank-held parcels | 0 / 0 | 27 / 13 |
Gibsonton commercial property is weighted toward industrial: truck yards, outdoor storage, contractor space and heavy industrial along US 41 near the bay and port facilities. Industrial land with yard and highway access is in short supply around Tampa, which pushes prices here well above what the area’s age suggests.
Gibsonton has about 4.3 million square feet of commercial buildings and recorded 6 arm's-length sales at a median $375 per square foot, above the county's $272. There were no distress transfers or bank-held parcels on the roll.
Gibsonton is industrial outdoor storage country, and that land is scarce around Tampa. A truck yard or contractor lot on US 41 can be worth more than the building on it; price the land and the zoning first.
