Out of the shadows

When Hertz announced plans to relocate its global headquarters to Bonita Springs last month, it started scouting for temporary office space.

The car-rental giant found it in an unlikely spot: vacant space in nearby Naples that had already been leased to Fifth Third Bank. Hertz agreed to sublease the unused space from the bank.

The deal was unusual for several reasons, not least of which was the size of the space. At 40,000 square feet, the offices are nearly the size of a football field. That's a lot of space for Naples, a relatively small market compared with Tampa.
