Tampa Bay’s commercial real estate market is heating up, and 2025 is shaping up to be a banner year for investors. Where should you put your money? Here are our top Tampa neighborhoods to watch, backed by local growth and hard data.

• • Downtown Tampa: With Class A office rents hitting $45-$49 per square foot and big projects like the 330-unit apartment complex breaking ground along the Hillsborough River, this area’s a magnet for CRE. It’s walkable, business-friendly, and fueled by corporate relocations.

• • Westshore: Tampa’s business hub boasts a dense office market and proximity to the airport. Despite a 20% vacancy rate, demand for modern, flexible spaces keeps rental rates climbing—perfect for office or retail plays.

• • Temple Terrace: That same 330-unit residential project signals residential growth spilling into commercial demand. Think small office buildings or service-based retail—low risk, steady returns.

Why these spots? Tampa Bay’s job growth (up 2.5% annually) and population influx (over 50,000 new residents since 2020) are fueling CRE momentum. Investors can snag opportunities in office, retail, or even industrial submarkets nearby. At Brokers International, our Tampa CRE advisors know these neighborhoods inside out—let us guide you to the right deal in 2025.
