Sykes, a global provider of support services for the technical, financial and communications industries, is taking the 27th, 28th, 29th and 31st floors of the 31-story, 512,000-sf 400 North Ashley tower, formerly home to NationsBank and NCNB National Bank.

What sealed the deal for Sykes were the 20 floor-to-ceiling windows and a 360-degree view of the city from the top floor of the 14-year-old, landmark building at Kennedy Boulevard and Ashley Street in Downtown Tampa, Roger Mullarkey, vice president/marketing and leasing, Colonnade Properties, says in a prepared statement.

Sykes is consolidating two Downtown locations housing its corporate headquarters and operations center. "We're certain the property's prime location and superior amenities were a determining factor in the decision to relocate their offices," Mullarkey says.
