The Bluffs This 40,000 square foot convenience neighborhood shopping center is located in Belleair Bluffs, Florida, a suburb of Clearwater. The center was built in the 1960's, but purchased by Chicago developer Harry Dolan in 1983. It was given a major facelift, both inside and out. The Bluffs is at the major intersection of West Bay Drive and Indian Rocks Road. West Bay Drive is a major east-west artery connecting Tampa to the resort islands in the Gulf of Mexico (the brand new $70 million Belleair bridge is just two blocks from the center). Indian Rocks Road is a major north-south artery connecting downtown Clearwater to Largo and St. Petersburg. The city of Belleair Bluffs is a well-established, affluent community with a year-around resident population. The population within three miles is 76,570 and the average family income is $73,601 (2000). The population on the offshore islands is tremendous in the tourist season, and the islands’ winter guests drive by The Bluffs to get to the mainland. The Bluffs, and the immediate intersection, have undergone a major re-orientation toward fine and fun dining. The Bluffs is anchored by Surf & Turf Market, a gourmet meat and seafood upscale grocer that also offers fine wines, imported cheeses, party platters, and lots of ready-to-cook dishes. Together with popular chains Panera Bread and Cody's Original Roadhouse, The Bluffs is a key shopping, dining and entertainment destination for the neighborhood and Suncoast beaches. Across the street are Bonefish Grill and Marlin' Darlin' seafood restaurants, while around the corner is the well-established E&E Stakeout Grill.The center is managed and leased by Bruce Strumpf, Inc. BSI is the largest shopping center management firm in Florida (more than 30 centers and 3 million square feet). BSI's offices are located at 2120 Drew Street in Clearwater, and are less than three miles from The Bluffs. Click here to visit their website.
