Port Tampa Bay is roughly 7 miles west of the facility and Tampa International Airport is within a 25-minute drive.

The property has two points of ingress and egress and offers a potential additional 2-acre parcel for outside storage, employee parking or off-dock trailer storage. The free-standing building features 50 dock doors, two drive-in doors and a 24-foot minimum clear height.

Cushman & Wakefield Senior Director Josh Tarkow represented UBS in the lease negotiations, being the exclusive leasing advisor for the facility. Newmark Knight Frank’s Senior Managing Directors John Esposito and Rick Narkiewicz worked on behalf of the tenant.
