Midtown Tampa is a1.8 million-square-foot, development on North Dale Mabry, just off Interstate 275, with a tenant roster that includes REI Co-op, Whole Foods, Prudential, Primo, Nestle and Tampa-based technology staffing company Kforce.

There is an 18-story office building under construction within the development where Tampa Electric and People's Gas will take 11 floors and move about 900 employees when the work is done.
