YBOR CITY - Centro Ybor is no longer for sale.

Owner CMJ Centro Ybor, an affiliate of M&J Wilkow Ltd. of Chicago, announced Monday it has taken the retail, restaurant and office complex off the market. Officials said it wasn't the best time to sell.

"We were pleased with how the sale process was going, but as things moved along, we decided we want to continue our ownership,'' said David Harvey, senior vice president of sales and acquisitions for M&J Wilkow. "Interest from prospective tenants has increased, and we feel that the value of the property will continue to grow.''
