Professional Office Leasing for Tampa Bay Building Owners
Vacant office space needs a clear leasing strategy. The right approach depends on who is likely to use the space, how it compares with competing properties, and what it will cost you to complete a lease.

I help Tampa Bay professional office building owners position available space, evaluate lease proposals, and plan for renewals. Whether you have an empty suite or an approaching lease expiration, the goal is to make decisions that support your property and your ownership plans.
Understand How Your Space Competes
Before reducing the asking rent or committing to improvements, look at the property from a prospective tenant’s perspective. Suite size, layout, condition, parking, and access can all affect which businesses will consider the space.
A practical leasing assessment should address:
- Which professional services firms and other office users are a realistic fit?
- Does the existing layout meet their needs, or would substantial changes be necessary?
- How does the space compare with competing offices in the same area?
- What costs and timing would be involved in preparing the space?
- Does the proposed approach fit your improvement budget and ownership goals?
Give Prospective Tenants a Clear Picture
Office users need to understand what is available, how it could work for their business, and what it will cost to occupy.
Clear property information, useful photos, suite plans, and realistic expectations about condition and delivery help prospects evaluate a space. I help owners position their property and use feedback from inquiries and tours to assess whether the marketing, pricing, or presentation needs to change.
Compare the Entire Lease Proposal
The asking rent is only one part of the economics. Lease length, rent increases, improvement allowances, free rent, delivery obligations, and downtime all affect what an agreement contributes to the property.
I help owners compare proposals and negotiate business terms with those costs and commitments in mind. A higher rental rate may be less attractive once the required improvements and concessions are considered.
Address Renewals Before They Become Vacancies
An upcoming lease expiration deserves attention before it becomes an urgent leasing problem. Review the tenant’s plans, the existing lease, competing options, and the likely cost of replacing the tenant.
Starting early gives owners more time to evaluate renewal terms, plan necessary improvements, and prepare to market the space if the tenant leaves.
Connect Leasing Decisions to Your Ownership Plans
Your leasing strategy should reflect what you intend to do with the property. An owner planning to hold may have different priorities from someone preparing for a sale, refinancing, or future use of the space.
I help owners consider those priorities before making commitments that affect the building’s income, costs, and flexibility.

Procured a new long-term tenant for the office space. The property consists of three buildings totaling 64,500 SF of office and medical office space.
Landlord leasing
I signed a 9-month listing with John Milsaps and he was able to find exactly the type of tenant I wanted in my property. He went above and beyond and provided several “value-add” services including handling the lease and getting build-out bids for the prospect before executing the lease. All I had to do was approve the deal and sign. The whole process was seamless!
