TAMPA, FL—Tampa's Westshore submarket heated up in 2014, so it only seems fitting that the year would end with another transaction there. Fairlead Commercial Real Estate partnered with Bridge Investment Group to snap up Westshore 500, a class A 129,728-square-foot office building, through its investment fund.

Located at 500 North Westshore Boulevard in Tampa, FL, this deal marks the seventh office tower and the second office building acquisition in Tampa for Fairlead and its partners this year. Fairlead acquired the 19-story office building Fifth Third Center in Downtown Tampa in the summer of 2014. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“After buying several office assets in the Southeast US in 2014, we have been pleased to see the predicted business growth and confidence continue in Tampa,” says Jeff Shaw, president of Fairlead. “The Westshore submarket has arguably been Tampa's healthiest submarket.”
