Newmark Grubb Knight Frank (NGKF) announces the lease negotiation for the new 49,386-square-foot North American headquarters of Sypris Electronics, a high-tech manufacturer in Tampa, and the new listing of the 400-acre U.S. 41 Industrial Park in Hillsborough County, Florida.
John Esposito, a senior managing director at NGKF, represented the tenant Sypris Electronics, LLC, a world-class, integrated systems solutions provider, in the long-term lease negotiations for its corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility.
The lease NGKF structured will generate extensive savings through the tenant “right sizing” together with an aggressive economic package. Due to the trend of smaller electronic devices, Sypris was able to take advantage of an economically beneficial down-sizing of their space. The impending relocation will also allow Sypris to remain in proximity to their current location and operate in a newer facility thereby increasing efficiency and lowering operating costs. The property is close to nearby restaurants, child-care and retail shops.
“It was an honor to have worked on this substantial transaction and to have one of the area’s premier technology companies remain in Tampa Bay,” said Esposito. “The surrounding counties were aggressively pursuing Sypris’ relocation via incentive packages.”
NGKF Senior Managing Director Rick Narkiewicz is the listing broker for U.S. 41 Industrial Park. The property boasts a 48-inch Natural Gas pipeline, immediate access to the Port of Manatee, rare heavy industrial zoning, master water retention, nearly an unlimited amount of electric service available via Florida Power and Light and is rail served.
“This is an exceptionally unique property to go on the market given its enviable location,” said Narkiewicz. “The property is ideally located, benefiting from easy access to the I-75 and Big Bend interchange, its proximity to Port Redwing and is bounded on the east by the CSX Railroad, which can accommodate a spur into the site.”
