Box Factory Lofts
Homes for Sale in Tampa, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Market Heat
Box Factory Lofts is a small, single-vintage building — every unit traces back to 1890 — so pricing here is less about comps across a subdivision and more about the condition and finish level of individual units inside one historic structure. With only 8 homes total and a 4-listing closing window feeding this snapshot, a single sale can move the median meaningfully in either direction.
The median price of $334,500 and median price per square foot of $337.6 on a median size just under 1,100 square feet reflect a compact loft footprint, not a larger single-family product. A median days-on-market just over 46 and a market heat score of 35 point to a slower-moving, buyer-patient environment rather than a competitive bidding posture — sellers here should price to the unit's actual condition, and buyers have room to negotiate on timeline.
The 60-Second Overview
Box Factory Lofts market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $334K ($338 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 47 days on market for closed sales.
Box Factory Lofts is a community of 8 homes in Tampa, Hillsborough County, built between 1890 and 1890 (median 1890.0), with a median living area of about 1,088 square feet. 62% of parcels are homesteaded, the owner-occupancy proxy in the Florida DOR assessment roll (2025 roll, public records).
Box Factory Lofts is a loft conversion inside a single 1890 building in Tampa, which makes it a niche, low-volume corner of the market rather than a typical subdivision with recurring new construction or resale turnover.
Who Box Factory Lofts is best for.
Best for
- A buyer specifically drawn to an 1890 loft conversion and comfortable with a compact, roughly 1,087-square-foot living area.
- Someone prioritizing a unique historic structure in Tampa over standardized floor plans or building amenities.
- A buyer prepared to negotiate on timeline in a slower-moving, lower-heat market rather than compete on speed.
Probably not for
- Buyers who need on-site community amenities, since none are identified from current MLS listings.
- Anyone requiring a larger living footprint than the median unit size here comfortably offers.
- Investors expecting a large, liquid resale pool — the building's total inventory of 8 homes limits comparable data and turnover.
Price History: What Homes Here Have Actually Sold For

The Box Factory Lofts buying strategy.
If we were buying in Box Factory Lofts today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Box Factory Lofts.
One Building, One Vintage, a Thin Market
Because every home here shares the same 1890 build year, the usual drivers of price spread in a community — different construction eras, builders, or lot sizes — do not apply. What separates one closing from another is almost entirely unit-level: how much of the original structure has been updated, layout efficiency within that roughly 1,087-square-foot median footprint, and natural light or exposure within the building. That is why price per square foot ($337.6 median) is arguably a more useful reference point here than the raw median price, since it normalizes for the size variation between units.
The homestead share of 62.5% suggests a majority of current owners have filed for homestead exemption, which typically signals owner-occupancy rather than a building dominated by short-term rental or transient investor turnover. Combined with a market heat score of 35 and a median 46.5 days on market, this reads as a stable, slower-cycling building — not a place where units list and vanish, but also not one seeing frequent turnover. No community amenities are identified from current MLS listings, so any building perks (secured entry, elevator, parking arrangement) should be confirmed unit by unit rather than assumed.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Box Factory Lofts. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
