JLL Vice Presidents Jimmy Ullrich and John Heald represented tenant Manning & Napier in the renewal transaction. Manning & Napier, a national firm that manages $43.1 billion in assets under management, will continue to occupy the ninth floor of the 187,538-square-foot Morgan Stanley Tower. The office building is owned by a joint venture consisting of affiliates of Feldman Equities, Tower Realty Partners and Second City Capital Partners.

“We are pleased to see Manning & Napier’s commitment to downtown St. Pete and all it has to offer its employees,” said JLL’s Jimmy Ullrich. “The downtown St. Pete market is experiencing a second renaissance. The area grew substantially during the nineties by catering to the Baby Boomer population with residential towers. Today, St. Pete is adding the junior executive housing and shopping components required to achieve the work-live-play environment that Millennials crave.”
Among the key reasons Manning & Napier chose to remain in Morgan Stanley Tower are the bay views and immense amenities including adjacent Sundial St. Pete. Furthermore, Feldman Equities is investing $3 million in Morgan Stanley Tower, including a comprehensive lobby renovation commissioned by Gensler.
“From a regional perspective, Manning & Napier’s commitment demonstrates the strength in the financial services sector in the Tampa Bay market,” said JLL’s John Heald. “8.3% of Tampa Bay’s employment base is in the financial services sector, a number that has increased by 1.4% in the past 12 months.”
