Westshore office sells for $20.25 million

In what may be a harbinger of future activity in the area, a Greenville, S.C.-based company has acquired an eight-building Westshore office complex in Tampa's suburbs for $20.25 million.

ReOp Investments LLC's purchase of the Bay West office park marks its first Florida investment. The company currently owns eight office, retail and self-storage assets in South Carolina, according to its website.

The 195,558-square-foot complex, on 15.4 acres, was built beginning in 1983 and is currently 95% occupied by insurer Geico, Fidelity National Title and restaurateur Beef O' Brady's, which maintains offices and a test kitchen there.
