MetLife to Bring Mixed-Use to Westshore
MetLife Inc. is all set to go before the Tampa City Council tonight to get a re-zoning of their 32 acre campus at 4010 W. Boy Scount Blvd. They have held the property since the 70s and have a 240,320 square foot office building there, as well as a few smaller buildings. The plan is to build a $200M mixed use complex with 700,000 square feet of office, 260 rental residential units, and 80,000 square feet of retail space available.
Despite having 18.3% vacancy in their main building on the site, it will stay there and continue to be leased out.
MetLife itself occupies very little space on the site, after reconsolidating their operations in an area off I-75 north of Tampa.
