Miller: While the Westshore neighborhood has typically always been the dominate submarket in terms of office leasing activity, we are now seeing a heavy migration to the region's urban core in Downtown Tampa. The total vacancy rate in this area has dropped to 14%, an 8% overall decrease from 2010, according to JLL's 2016 Skyline report.

Another submarket worth highlighting is the Interstate 75/Interstate 4 Corridor which has seen numerous large blocks of space taken off the market in the past 18-24 months and vacancy drop from 22% to 13.6% in that same time span. This move to the urban core can be attributed to a shifting workforce.
