  I wouldn't suggest leasing from these folks. My company was sued by an ex partner who withheld all of our revenue from April-current. As a result we had to terminate employees and move the business remote while fighting in court to get commission and revenue paid as owed. After 20 months of paying our rent early, I shared our P&L YTD showing a massive loss, and that the office rent was our largest remaining expense. I asked them to make any compromise- even letting us terminate the lease a month or two early would help me keep the firm alive and pay my employees through the holidays. I spoke to Mike DiBlasi with CBRE, and begged him to help me reason with the building leasing agent Phil Weber. I received a cold hearted email back from Diane Brooks: Hello Chris: The CBRE team has forwarded your email request to the building ownership for consideration. Given the short term that remains on the term, nothing short of a 100% buyout would be considered. Otherwise, the ownership expects the leasehold obligations to be fulfilled until the lease termination date of January 31, 2026. Thank you. Diane If you are looking for ANY type of humanity from a corporate leasing firm, CBRE is not going to be it. I have friends who own commercial space all over Tampa, and I cannot imagine any of those folks being so heartless. So in the end I'll pay the lease on time as I always have, but I'll be sure to spread the word about CBRE and Towers at Westshore.
