LAKELAND, FL-Rooms To Go has renewed its 185,000-sf distribution center lease at the 100%-leased, 600,000-sf Lakeland Industrial Center, according to the Tampa office of Cushman & Wakefield of Florida Inc. Houston-based Weingarten Nostate Inc. owns the 100%-leased property.

Cushman & Wakefield brokers, who represented the owner, declined to disclose the length or value of the transaction at the 16-year-old property. However, area brokers familiar with this Polk County submarket tell GlobeSt.com the lease is probably for at least 10 years at an effective rent of about $3 per sf. That would make the estimated aggregate value of the lease about $5.5 million, brokers tell GlobeSt.com.
