February 2020 — As office vacancies tighten throughout the region, Feldman Equities, LLC has secured nearly 44,000 square feet of office leases in the first month of the new year.
“2020 is off to a great start with several other deals in the pipeline,” stated Feldman Equities Executive VP of Leasing and Marketing Baharea Larsen. “We’ve leased two of our largest availabilities.” Larsen along with Ceci Tricoli and Larry Feldman negotiated the leases on behalf of the joint venture partnerships.
Two of the largest leases are with Datis HR Cloud, Inc and Anthony and Partners, LLC. They will occupy 19,618 and 10,001 square feet respectively at Wells Fargo Center, a 22-story, 390,000 square foot office tower located in downtown Tampa. Both companies will relocate from other office towers in downtown Tampa.
In the largest deal, Datis HR Cloud, Inc. leased the entire 15th floor at Wells Fargo Center. The firm needed additional space for their expanding sales force and to build out an office that suited its needs. Wells Fargo Center provided both. Gary Godsey and Caleb Lewis of JLL represented Datis in the transaction.
Anthony & Partners, LLC leased half of the 16th floor with owners citing the building’s ownership and management as key to their relocation. “Larry Feldman is a visionary in our community,” stated John and Stephenie Anthony. “We look forward to partnering with Team Feldman as Larry creates a great future for the City of Tampa. We can’t wait to move into our new home.” Brokers Chris Butler & Kyle Chaikin of Franklin Street represented the law firm and negotiated the lease with Larsen of Feldman Equities.
A third firm, Summit Design + Build, LLC leased 3,807 square feet in a deal that will relocate their offices to downtown Tampa from the Westshore Business District. Co-brokers Jon Slater and David Culligan of Savills represented the tenant in the transaction.
