Tampa’s office market shifts in favor of landlords — in a way one broker hasn’t seen since 2006
When Clay Wommack took over the leasing of Westshore Corporate Center in late 2015, he found himself in a position he hadn’t been in for a decade: Multiple tenants were vying for the same blocks of office space.
“It’s one of the first times in a long time I’ve handled an asset where an owner really got to sit back and say, ‘Wow, we got a lot of deals here, but what’s the best for the asset?'” said Wommack, director of office leasing for Franklin Street in Tampa.
That demand brought the Westshore Corporate Center — the 12-story building at the southwest corner of Westshore Boulevard and Interstate 275 — to 100 percent occupancy for the first time since 2001. Amscot Corp., which has signage on the building, in September renewed its lease for 33,000 square feet for five years.
