MIAMI—When Feldman Equities acquired and Tower Realty Partners acquired the Wells Fargo Center in Downtown Tampa in January, the class A office building was 77% occupied. Since then, the companies have leased half the vacant space. The Tampa office tower's owners have inked 58,422 square feet of leases in the last 10 months.

Wells Fargo Center is currently 87% leased. Larry Feldman, CEO of Feldman, who spearheads leasing efforts, attributes the leasing success to aggressive rental rates and the recent renovations to the building: “We make it easy to do deals at our properties. We are very responsive with no cumbersome approval processes.”

Recent deals include five new leases, an expansion and a renewal totaling 46,269 square feet. Valet Waste, a provider of doorstep trash and recycling collection services, leased 17,194 square feet. Co-brokers Mercedes Angel of Cushman & Wakefield and Abbey Dohring of The Dohring Group represented the company in the transaction.
