TAMPA-The M&I Bank Building in Sarasota just leased out an entire floor to a local law firm. Kirk-Pinkerton, P.A. signed a lease for the sixth floor, which spans 10,104-square-feet.

CBRE associate Kimberly Rogers and senior associate Michael Fisher represented the landlord and building owner, iStar Financial, in the transaction. Ian Black of Ian Black Realty represented to Kirk-Pinkerton. The new lease brings the 128,389-square-foot office building to more than 76% occupancy.

“KP was previously located at the Plaza at Five Points in downtown Sarasota,” Rogers tells GlobeSt.com. “KP did not expand, they downsized on a per-square-foot basis into a full floor at our building. The move gave them an opportunity to have a more efficient floor plan thereby reducing their needs on a per-square-foot basis.”
