PALMA CEIA - The southeast corner of Himes Avenue and Bay to Bay Boulevard may find some life for the first time since Palma Ceia Christian Church left it vacant in 2005.

The owners of the property, Timothy Muscaro of Muscaro and Martini Dentistry, Kevin Marshall of Marshall Advertising and Michael Abdoney of Abdoney Orthodontics, are partnering with Jim Burt of Capstone Group for a new 31,000-square-foot office building at 3516 Bay to Bay.

Burt said construction will not begin until owners have about 15,000 square feet of space leased or sold as office condos, which he said would be a good fit for professional usage like that of lawyers or accountants.

Due to the zoning restrictions, the space cannot be used for medical operations. They have been in negotiations but had no signed lessees or buyers as of last week.

"Based on the initial response we're getting already, there is great interest in South Tampa," Burt said. "There is very limited land in South Tampa that allows you to build a building of this size."

The building will have a Mediterranean design like one of Capstone's other complexes, at 1700 S. MacDill Ave. across from the Palma Ceia Golf and Country Club. Parking will be distributed proportionally at 3.3 spaces for each 1,000 square feet leased or purchased, Burt said.

The owners paid $2.3 million for the property in July 2005 after Palma Ceia Christian's decision to merge with a church on South Manhattan Avenue. Previous proposals have included an assisted-living facility, condominiums and a Fifth Third Bank.
