Building Spotlight -- 100 N. Tampa St.

100 N. Tampa St.

Completed in June 1992 and the last office tower to be developed in downtown Tampa, 100 N. Tampa St. is a structure without parallel along the Gulf Coast in many ways. From its distinction as the tallest building downtown to its consistent occupancy over 90% to its raft of top environmental awards, the 42-story skyscraper stands out.

In honor of owner Prudential Real Estate’s plan to sell 100 N. Tampa St., check out what else makes the building — which commercial real estate brokerage Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. describes in an offering summary as “one of the Southeast’s premier office towers” — so superlative. (Hint: It’s not just the potential record price, either.)
