In Tampa’s prestigious Westshore Business District – the region’s largest office market with over 18 million square feet of space and 102,000 employees – small standalone office buildings are exceedingly uncommon. This 4,620 SF freestanding building represents a rare chance to own an entire office asset in a submarket dominated by large multi-tenant complexes. Opportunities to acquire a move-in-ready, boutique office in Westshore are scarce, positioning this property as a unique investment for those seeking full control of a building in Tampa’s most sought-after business hub. The asset offers exclusivity and visibility that typically come at a premium in Westshore’s tight inventory, making it a standout option for both owner-occupiers and investors.
Turnkey, Furnished Space
Delivered vacant but fully furnished and turnkey, this property holds particular appeal for owner-users looking to establish operations seamlessly. The interior is move-in ready – a significant advantage that lets a business occupy and start operations immediately, without the hassle or delay of build-outs and furnishing. Owner-users can skip the costly and time-consuming process of renovating or outfitting a new office, as the workspace already comes professionally equipped.
Strong Market Fundamentals Offer Investor Upside
For investors, the Westshore submarket’s robust fundamentals provide confidence in the asset’s income potential. Westshore’s office vacancy rate has declined to a four-year low (below 12%) amid steady tenant demand, meaning newly available space is quickly absorbed. In fact, Tampa led Florida in 2024 with approximately 6.6 million SF of office leasing – the strongest annual leasing activity since 2021 – highlighting the depth of demand from companies expanding or relocating to the area. High-quality, well-located offices in Westshore also command premium rents (Class A asking rents often exceed $40/SF in this submarket), pointing to attractive cash flow potential. With limited new construction in the pipeline and Westshore’s enduring popularity among corporate tenants, investors can expect strong leasing prospects, low vacancy risk, and solid long-term appreciation supported by the market’s positive trajectory.
Strategic Location with Exceptional Connectivity
Situated in the heart of the Westshore Business District, 3615 E Frontage Rd offers a strategic location with unparalleled access and convenience. The property sits just off Interstate 275 near the Veterans Expressway, putting it at Tampa’s transportation crossroads – a mere ~5-minute drive to Tampa International Airport and only 10 minutes to Downtown Tampa. This connectivity ensures easy commutes for employees and quick travel for clients or executives. Moreover, the surrounding Westshore area is rich in amenities: the district is home to two major retail centers (Westshore Plaza and International Plaza), over 250 restaurants and 45 hotels, and it even includes the airport within its boundaries. Such proximity to dining, lodging, and entertainment options creates an attractive live-work-play environment for businesses.
Westshore Market Strength
Westshore continues to outperform, with vacancy around 11–12%, well below the national average, thanks to strong tenant demand and limited new supply. Tampa’s office market recorded over 400,000 SF of positive absorption last year, led by major move-ins in Westshore. With steady business growth and few new deliveries, Westshore remains Tampa’s most desirable and stable office submarket, offering owners and investors long-term upside and resilience.
