NEW YORK, NY – Stan
Johnson Company, the nation’s premier net lease brokerage firm, has completed
the $22 million sale of the headquarters of Tampa Electric Co., the principal
subsidiary of TECO Energy Inc. (NASDAQ: TE),
on behalf of an institutional partnership.
TECO Plaza is an approximately 277,454-square-foot
office property comprising of an entire city block at 702 N. Franklin St.
in Downtown Tampa, FL. Tampa Electric
has supplied the area with electricity since 1899, servicing approximately
2,000 square miles of West Florida.
Camille Renshaw of Stan Johnson Company represented
the seller, a partnership managed by a subsidiary of a major, multinational
financial services company. Benderson
Development, one of the country’s largest privately-held real estate companies,
was the buyer. The single tenant, net
lease property was a build-to-suit for TECO in 1979.

A unique component of the transaction was the extremely
competitive nature of the bid process as over twenty groups intensely sought
the purchase. The result was a sales
price with a +/-5.78% cash-on-cash return to the buyer.
“Institutional sellers are very demanding in their pricing
of single-tenant assets, even in a secondary market like Tampa,” said Renshaw.
“Every detail of the bid process had to be
specially managed to create the returns our seller required, but the heated net
lease market obliged us, due to very limited supply and a huge demand.”
