U.S. Tent Rental doubling space

SARASOTA — The Boyle family, owners of U.S. Tent Rental Inc., purchased the 73,820-square-foot former Berry Plastics industrial building and an adjacent 16.85 acres for $2.45 million.

The price equated to $33 per square foot for the existing building. That figure is less than the two-year average price per square foot for industrial space ($41) in the Tampa Bay area, according to the CoStar Group.

Located northeast of the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport, the warehouse/manufacturing building features eight dock-high loading areas and six overhead doors, three-phase power and ceiling heights that range from 16 feet to 24 feet. The building itself sits on two acres of land.
