Strategic Property Partners, LLC.

Strategic Property Partners, LLC (SPP) owns or controls 50-acres in southern downtown Tampa waterfront.   When all three phases of the project are completed, the development will be approximately 9,000,000 square feet of commercial, residential, educational, entertainment, cultural and retail space with a total investment exceeding $2 billion. The property is located in an existing vibrant visitor and entertainment area which currently attracts in excess of 3 million people annually.  The area’s amenities include:  The Amalie Arena (home of the NHL’s Tampa Bay Lightning and one of America’s top concert venues), the Tampa Convention Center, the Tampa History Center, the Florida Aquarium, Port Tampa Bay, and Tampa Riverwalk.  SPP also owns two existing operating properties:  The 719-key Marriot Waterside Hotel and Marina, and the 234,000 square-foot Channelside Bay Plaza retail center.  In addition to SPP’s substantial surface parking operations for Amalie Arena events, the company also manages over 3,000 parking spaces for Port Tampa Bay.  SPP is actively recruiting corporate office tenants to the project, and has attracted the University of South Florida’s Morsani College of Medicine and Heart Institute as one of the anchor tenants (which will open in 2019).  Development plans also include new hotels, with up to 650 rooms and dedicated meeting space, up to 5,000 residential units, and approximately 500,000 square feet of retail.  Integrating principals of high-quality design, walkability, sustainability, connectivity, and wellness, SPP plans to create a best-in-class development that shapes the future of Tampa. 

SPP is owned by a joint venture between Cascade Investment, LLC and Jeff Vinik, who also owns the Tampa Bay Lightning.
