ConnectWise, Inc. Expands Operations Signs 35,000 Square Foot Lease at Fountain Square II in Tampa’s Westshore Business District

Recent Lease Transactions at Fountain Square II Exceed 90,000 Square Feet

October 12, 2012, TAMPA, FL – Just months after moving into new offices ConnectWise, Inc., one of the region’s largest software vendors, is expanding once again. This time the company has leased 35,000 square feet at Fountain Square II, a Class A office building located near its national headquarters at Independence Parkway and the Veterans Expressway.

ConnectWise, which will occupy the entire fourth floor at Fountain Square II, has been ranked on the annual Inc. 500|5000, Inc. Magazine’s exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for five consecutive years.

The deal which was brokered by Jimmy Garvey and Joe Taggart of CLW, brings the building occupancy to over 97%. Co-owner, Larry Feldman, CEO of Feldman Equities, Inc. stated “This new long-term lease with ConnectWise builds upon the already solid foundation of the Fountain Square II tenant base, stated Feldman. In less than two years since the building was purchased, we’ve signed 42,000 square feet of new leases and we’re entered into nearly 50,000 square feet of lease renewals. Recently, a wholly owned subsidiary of Humana Insurance, CarePlus, signed a long term lease for 40,000 square feet. The Humana lease extension includes a 5,000 square foot expansion. Parsons Engineering, a national tenant, has also entered into a long term lease extension.”

“We’re excited to expand our office location once again, to better serve the needs of the growing ConnectWise Capital employee and partner base,” said Arnie Bellini, CEO of ConnectWise. “The Fountain Square II office location is ideally located just steps from our headquarters at Independence Parkway and the Veterans Expressway. This new space will accommodate the increasing needs of our companies as we continue to grow.”

Fountain Square II was acquired early last year by New York-based Feldman Equities Inc and Maitland- based Tower Realty Partners Inc in a joint venture with TriGate Capital. The 134,000-square-foot office building is located in Tampa’s Westshore Business District, part of the Fountain Square Office Park located at Independence Parkway and the Veterans Expressway.
