The company will be moving from 9,000 square feet to a 30,832-square-foot space located in the Northwest Tampa market.

Focus is experiencing tremendous growth, which was the impetus for this relocation and expansion, according to managing director John Esposito (photo at right below) with Studley’s Tampa office, who represented the company in the lease.


“One of the primary reasons this particular building was selected was its proximity to their former location, minimizing any disruption for its employees,” said Esposito. “Westlake Corporate Center also offers Focus an above-average parking ratio, which was attractive to the company.”

Company CEO Raul Vasquez, Jr. said, “Westlake Corporate Center is a
first class facility in which we look forward to continuing our rapid growth.”

Esposito added that this transaction took considerable creative problem solving and negotiation with the landlord in order to accommodate some of Focus’ needs, such as prominent exterior building signage.

Chris Harak, an associate with Studley also represented Focus. The landlord, Osprey Real Estate Services, represented itself in the transaction.
