JLL arranges $23.15M acquisition financing for Tampa small bay industrial portfolio

MIAMI, July 22, 2026 – JLL Capital Markets announced today it has arranged $23.15 million in financing for the off-market acquisition of the Tampa Small Bay Industrial Portfolio, a three-building, 169,055-square-foot industrial asset strategically located in the Tampa Airport and Tampa East submarkets. The Property was acquired through a joint venture between East Capital Partners and Westport Capital Partners.

JLL worked on behalf of the borrower to secure the financing through GID Credit.

The small bay portfolio consists of three highly functional buildings located across two premier Tampa submarkets. The properties feature a diverse mix of office and warehouse space with 18-foot to 22-foot clear heights, three-phase heavy power, 25 dock-high doors, six drive-in doors and concrete block and concrete tilt-up construction. The portfolio is currently 90% occupied by 11 tenants across various industries and offers an average suite size well-suited for small bay industrial users.

Located at 5501 Pioneer Park Boulevard, 5519 Pioneer Park Boulevard and 9704 Solar Drive, the properties provide immediate access to Interstate 275, Interstate 4 and Interstate 75, connecting users to downtown Tampa, Tampa International Airport, Port Tampa Bay and Tampa's CSX Intermodal Terminal. The portfolio serves more than 6.5 million consumers within a 90-minute drive and benefits from the Tampa Bay region's robust population growth.

The properties are located in two of Tampa's most established and supply-constrained industrial submarkets. The Tampa Airport and Tampa East submarkets maintain limited vacancy for small bay product and benefit from minimal new construction pipeline, with development concentrated on larger bulk distribution facilities in outlying areas.

The JLL Capital Markets team was led by Senior Managing Director Melissa Rose and Analyst Aaliyah St. Louis.

"This portfolio represents an attractive value-add opportunity in two of Tampa's most supply-constrained industrial submarkets, where small bay vacancy continues to significantly outperform bulk industrial product," Rose said. "The sponsor's demonstrated expertise leasing and managing multi-tenant industrial assets, evidenced by strong renewal rates and rent growth across their existing portfolio, gave lenders confidence in the business plan execution."
