Harborview Plaza

Atlanta-based Cousins Properties owns and manages Harborview Plaza since its acquisition in October 2015 from Highwoods Properties. The office mid-rise traded for $49 million, according to CommercialEdge information.

Completed in 2002, Harborview Plaza is a Class A, 205,049-square-foot property covering a 6.7-acre site. The tenant roster includes Milner Inc., Mercer, HCA West Florida Division Office and First American Title Insurance Co., the same data provider shows.

The office building is at 3031 N. Rocky Point Drive West in the Westshore submarket, just off Florida State Road 60 and near Tampa International Airport. Downtown Tampa is some 8 miles east. Major thoroughfares in the area include interstates 275, 4 and 75.

Amenities at the property feature an on-site café, a fitness center, a conference facility, multi-level parking and free shuttle service to Tampa International Airport.

To address the needs of today’s hybrid workforce, coworking spaces are evolving. Operators are increasingly adopting business models similar to those in the hospitality industry, incorporating a diverse range of workspace types under consolidated networks.
