Tucked away between I-75 and Commerce Park Blvd., the sounds of construction can be heard again in the Tampa Palms Professional Center (TPPC), part of the Tampa Technology Park West Development of Regional Impact (DRI) off Commerce Park Blvd. in Tampa Palms.
Tampa Palms Professional Center, LTD, developer Garrison Urette says that the local economy bouncing back has resulted in growth in the 10-year-old office park. The current expansion can be seen along the north side of Primrose Lake, where a new office building currently is under construction. The office park has grown to a total of 26 buildings, comprising 140,000 sq. ft. of office, commercial and medical space, with more land for sale that includes multiple acreage sites.
Urette explains that the 18,000-sq.-ft. building should be completed with occupancy by this winter. However, although TPPC is in negotiations with the future tenant, Urette says that the tenant’s name cannot yet be announced.
“The building is a twin to the two-story office building on the south side of the parking lot, also on the lake (where Acti-Kare, Inc., and other small businesses featured in this publication are located),” Urette says. “This project has been in the works for quite some time.”
In addition to the new office building, Bonita Springs-based assisted living facility developer Discovery Village owns the 5.47 acres of land north of Primrose Lake Cir., along Brookside Trace Ct., with plans for a four-five story, 60-unit assisted living facility, 30 of which would be set aside for memory care.
Urette says Discovery Village still is in the permitting process with Hillsborough County. County property records show that Discovery Village purchased the land for $1.5 million in 2013.
A representative from Discovery Village did not return calls for comment before we went to press with this issue.
