International staffing company relocating to booming Tampa development

An international staffing and recruiting company will move its Tampa office after signing a lease in a new tower going up in the Midtown Tampa development.

Insight Global, which currently has offices in the city’s Westshore Business District, has signed a lease for 20,000 square feet in the 18-story Midtown East building currently under construction. The firm is expected to move in early 2025.

Terms of the lease were not disclosed.

The Atlanta company specializes in finding IT, accounting, finance, health care and engineering professionals for Fortune 1000 companies in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. It currently has 70 offices, including its existing one in Tampa at 4030 W. Boy Scout Road.

Brittany Arnold, director of real estate for Insight Global, says in a statement announcing the move that “it’s not just a change of address; it’s a step forward in our company’s growth.

She, like others who have made the move to Midtown Tampa, cites the amenities available at the multiuse development on Dale Mabry Highway as a reason to relocate. Midtown is a 23-acre, 1.8 million-square-foot, $1 billion development. It is made up of offices, apartments, hotels, restaurants and retailers REI Co-op and Whole Foods.

Kforce, the Tampa-based publicly traded technology staffing company, opened its new headquarters building in the development about a year ago. And Tampa Electric and People's Gas, which currently has headquarters in downtown Tampa, is expected to take up 11 stories of the Midtown East tower and bring with 900 employees when it moves in 2025.

The tower is a joint-venture between Highwoods Properties and Bromley Cos. When complete it will have more than 400,000 square feet of office space and about 10,000 square feet of retail space.
