Cushman & Wakefield to Lease Trophy Tampa Tower

TAMPA, FL-– Cushman & Wakefield has been selected as exclusive marketing and leasing agent for SunTrust Financial Centre, (top right photo) a prestigious Class A office tower in Tampa, Florida jointly owned by Macquarie Office Trust and the Stiles Corporation.

Leasing responsibilities will be handled by Tampa's top office team of Andy May, Barry Oaks, and Bill Reeves, professionals who bring longstanding expertise and experience in the Tampa market.

"This is truly one of the top properties in the Southeast," said C&W's May. "We have a tremendous belief in it, and we think tenants consider it one of the most, if not the most, desirable office address in Tampa."

The SunTrust Financial Centre is currently home to major tenants such as SunTrust Bank, Hapag-Lloyd, 22Squared and Ernst & Young.

Macquarie Office Trust closed on the 527,000 square foot trophy tower in September 2007.

In March of this year Stiles Investment Services exercised an option to acquire a 9 percent interest in SunTrust Financial Centre via a joint venture with Macquarie Office Trust which retained the remaining 91 percent interest.

Rocco Ferrera (bottom left photo) of Stiles Investment Services said: “We look forward to working with Cushman & Wakefield. C&W has an impressive reputation in the Tampa market and we believe they will truly be an asset to our team.”
