The office structure is connected to an adjacent 1,263-space, 14-story parking structure through a skybridge, providing the tower with highest parking ratio in the CBD. It has easy access to Interstate 275, Selmon Expressway, Florida State Route 60 and North Florida Ave.Tampa International Airport is also just seven miles away from the building.<\/p>\n
