Bold project primed to reshape Tampa gets CEO

Strategic Property Partners LLC, the joint venture between Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and Cascade Investment LLC that's planning a $2 billion development in Tampa's Channelside district, has named a chief executive officer.

James Nozar will join SPP on March 1 from the JBG Cos., a Washington, D.C.-based development firm known for ambitious, mixed-use projects.

Nozar, a senior vice president of development at JBG, has managed the development of more than two-dozen multi-use projects in more than a decade at JBG, an SPP statement says.
