Gensler inked a 10,803-square-foot lease with Strategic Property Partners at Thousand & One in Water Street Tampa, a 387,000-square-foot office tower in downtown Tampa, Fla. The tenant will relocate to its new, second-story space of the WELL Gold-certified trophy building by the end of the year.

Located at 1001 Water St. within the $3.5 billion, 56-acre Water Street Tampa mixed-use district, the building is the city’s first to achieve WELL Core and Shell certification. Rising 20 stories, Thousand & One is also LEED Silver and WiredScore Platinum certified.

Cushman & Wakefield is the leasing broker at the property. After the current deal, the building came closer to being 90 percent leased, Executive Vice President at Strategic Property Partners David Bevirt said in prepared remarks.

Designed by COOKFOX Architects and completed in 2021, the Class-A office building features flexible floorplates, a fitness center, an open-air conference room, a townhall, a rooftop terrace, seven passenger elevators, 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, controlled access and approximately 1120 parking spaces.

The tenant roster includes Citadel, Walker & Dunlop, ReliaQuest, Sila Realty Trust, Weatherford Capital, Synovus Financial Corporation, RSM, Suffolk Construction and USA Rare Earth. Roughly one year ago, Northern Trust Corp. signed a 10,000-square-foot commitment at the property’s ninth floor.
