“It’s the highest price per foot we’ve seen in downtown Tampa for retail space,” says Medefind.  

“We were successful in bringing a large diverse population of buyers, both local and from out of the area,” he said, “and all were very, very aggressive buyers when it came to price and wanting to invest in downtown Tampa.” 

“The city of Tampa has done an excellent job over the past five years reinvesting in its downtown waterfront park system, new riverwalk, museums, etc.,” adds Casey Babb, CCIM, “and the buyer recognized the opportunity to buy-in at the forefront of what looks like it will be a huge explosion of new development in the coming years.  To be able to obtain a trophy real estate asset in an emerging market like downtown Tampa was a no brainer.”
