TAMPA, FL—Commercial real estate firm Avison Young reports it is leading the planned renovations at the Westshore Center office building here.

Avison Young is spearheading the nearly $1-million renovations at the 216,410-square-foot office building at 1715 North Westshore Blvd. as the exclusive leasing agent and property management firm. The building is currently 84% occupied.

“Westshore Center is undergoing a complete aesthetic overhaul to modernize the look and feel of the building,” says Clay Witherspoon, principal and managing director of Avison Young, Tampa operations “This, along with a newly renovated and operated café soon to be open in the building's first floor, will provide a 'new' building experience that will stand out to both new and existing tenants as a highly sought after location for businesses.” Witherspoon and Avison Young Vice President Lauren Coup are the exclusive leasing agents for the building.
