“I think we're only in the second inning in terms of what's going to happen in Tampa, and maybe the third inning in what's going to happen in St. Petersburg.”

So says Larry Feldman, CEO of Feldman Equities LLC, who together with Tower Realty Partners owns a handful of office buildings in the downtowns of the two cities, including the First Central Tower, Morgan Stanley Tower and City Center building in St. Petersburg and the Wells Fargo Center in Tampa.

Feldman and Tower also are refining designs for Riverwalk Tower, a planned 52-story project that will combine ground-floor retail, upscale residences and Class A office space into Tampa's first mixed-use tower and the first downtown office building since 1992.
