TAMPA, FL (May 2011) – Colliers International Tampa Bay, a leader in global real estate services, is pleased to announce leasing 32,337± square feet of the New Tampa Commerce Center to Safelite Auto Glass. The industrial park is located at 11441 U.S. Highway 301 in Thonotosassa, Fla., and serves the east side and New Tampa submarkets.

Dee Seymour, MCR, CCIM, SIOR, and Ed Miller, CCIM, SIOR, of Colliers International Tampa Bay represented the tenant, Safelite Auto Glass. The Landlord, Cobalt – CLW, was represented by Jeff Bardin of CLW Real Estate Services Group.

"This will be a great location for Safelite,” said Seymour. "Also, because of almost two years of no new construction in this submarket, this lease will help us to continue to see vacancy rates fall from last year's high of over 14 percent to below 12 percent.”

The Seymour/Miller team specializes in developing strategies to connect business planning to industrial real estate needs, providing help with market studies, acquisition, disposition and leasing.
