A Colorado couple who owns a home on St. Petersburg's Snell Isle has paid a record price for a vacant waterfront lot on Tampa's Davis Islands.

A corporate entity linked to Daniel and Carol Dampier of Greenwood Village, Colorado, paid $7.2 million for the vacant lot at 202 Blanca Ave. in a sale that closed Feb. 4, according to Hillsborough County property records.

The seller, Tampa developer Jeffrey Hills, paid $3.9 million for the property in 2019, according to property records.

The lot is just over .3 acres, and the sales price is equivalent to $20 million an acre.

Jennifer Zales, a residential real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate, listed the lot for sale.

“We continue to break records for Davis Islands bayfront land sales," Zales said in a statement. "This lot had a panoramic view spanning the skylines of Bayshore Boulevard and downtown Tampa. Its location on the island, larger waterfront frontage and unique west-facing orientation all contributed to the price premium."

Other comparable transactions in recent months have equated to roughly $17 million an acre — including Tampa Bay Lightning captain Steven Stamkos' $5.4 million likely teardown on Blanca Avenue and developer Punit Shah's $5.2 million teardown on Riviera Drive.
