HSN has listed its 65-acre property in north St. Pete
/
Spanning nearly 65 acres in Pinellas County and surrounded by some of the region’s largest employers, the long-time campus of the Home Shopping Network (HSN) is now officially on the market.
Commercial real estate firm CBRE is marketing the property at 2501 118th Avenue North for an undisclosed price. Zoned for commercial use, the site includes over 487,000 square feet of office and industrial space across nine buildings, developed between 1984 and 1994.
The listing follows a major announcement from HSN’s parent company, Qurate Retail Group, which is consolidating HSN and QVC operations into its Studio Park headquarters in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
As part of the move, Qurate will shutter the 369,000-square-foot St. Pete campus—its home for the past 47 years—and eliminate 730 local jobs beginning in late May.

A new spot for açaí bowls, poke, and coffee is coming to Treasure Island this fall.
Kaia Bowls will open in October at 111 107th Avenue, Unit A, in the same plaza as Gigi’s Italian Restaurant and Lana’s Lounge. The space was previously occupied by Vine and Grind, which relocated to 7230 Central Avenue and rebranded as Brick Road Olive Oil Company.
The 1,300-square-foot café will be Kaia Bowls’ seventh Tampa Bay location, joining existing shops in downtown St. Pete, Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Madeira Beach, Safety Harbor and Ybor City. The company also operates one location in Illinois, with additional outposts planned for Gainesville and Miami.
Kaia Bowls offers sweet and savory bowls made with health-conscious ingredients. Its savory menu includes poke bowls with tuna, salmon, shrimp, chicken, or tofu, along with toppings such as avocado, rice, edamame, cucumbers, and seaweed salad.
Sweet selections include açaí, pitaya, chia pudding, coconut, and oatmeal bowls topped with fruit, granola, almonds, honey, peanut butter, coconut flakes, hemp seeds, and raw cacao nibs.
The menu also includes avocado toast, juices, and smoothies.
