News & Updates | Q1 2020
Tampa reached record low vacancy rate last year, tight office market projected in 2020
The Tampa office market ended 2019 with one of the lowest recorded vacancy rates in over 2 decades. This was mostly due to the limited office space supply and limited construction. We started seeing a large surge of office construction at the end of 2019, with the addition of 1001 Water Street (the first office high-rise built in 25 years) and groundbreaking for the Heights Union, SkyCenter One, and Midtown Tampa projects. Even with all of this office construction, Tampa is still projected to be in demand for more office space through 2020.

Tampa Bay will see post COVID-19 opportunity in retail real estate
April 1st marks the first billing cycle for rent payments since the coronavirus took hold. Retail establishments have been the hardest hit tenants by the pandemic as most have been deemed as nonessential businesses. Even when businesses are allowed to reopen, relief won't be immediate. While some establishments, such as restaurants, are taking this opportunity to reinvent their modus operandi, we will see a large amount of businesses shutting their doors. Owners should see this as an opportunity to reinvent their retail plazas and "recapture the space".

Tampa construction industry forges ahead in the face of the coronavirus
Construction in the Tampa Bay region is one of the least affected industries for now. It is considered an essential business by US Homeland Securities' jobs list. The construction industry represents over 50,000 employees and over $2.7 billion in annual payroll in Hillsborough & Pinellas counties. Several safety precautions have been taken in an effort to keep business running properly.
