Whether you're a startup, an established brand, or looking to expand, Downtown Clearwater offers a diverse range of commercial spaces, modern amenities, and a supportive network of local businesses that sets it apart.  

Why Choose Downtown Clearwater?

Situated along Florida’s Gulf Coast, Downtown Clearwater is strategically positioned in the heart of the Tampa Bay area, with convenient access to major highways, the port, and rail systems. Just minutes from world-renowned Clearwater Beach, Downtown experiences high visitation from visitors who hop on the trolley or ferry for easy access to Downtown.

As a premier waterfront destination in the region, Downtown is steps away from Coachman Park. The park features expansive recreational spaces, a promenade offering stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway and marina, and a bluff walk designed to link the park with downtown.

Coachman Park is home to the BayCare Sound, an award-winning 4,000-seat covered amphitheater that hosts a year-round schedule of performances, drawing residents, tourists, and concertgoers from near and far throughout the year
