Senior Commercial Property Manager -- Tampa's Most Talked-About Waterfront District

Job Description

This isn't a job post you'll skim past. It's a shot at running one of the most ambitious mixed-use developments in the Southeast — a $3.5B, 74-acre transformation of Tampa's downtown waterfront, backed by serious institutional capital and built with a "wellness neighborhood" philosophy from the ground up.

The asset (name disclosed at first interview) is a landmark district that blends:

\n
• Loft-style, trophy office space designed to connect people to nature
\n
• Ground-floor retail and chef-driven dining from some of the most talked-about names in the industry
\n
• A recreation lawn and activated public realm — plazas, pedestrian streets, year-round programming
\n
• A live events calendar that brings real energy to the property, not just foot traffic
\n
• District-wide smart infrastructure (app-based concierge, sustainability tech, a central command center monitoring air quality, sound, and activity)
\n

It's the kind of asset that shows up in "best of" lists — and it's about to get even bigger, with new hotel, entertainment, and residential phases already underway.

The Role

You'd be the most senior person on site.

Full ownership — not a supporting role, not one voice among many.

What you'll own: → Day-to-day operations across retail, office, and the public realm → Full financial stewardship — budgets, CAM, reforecasts, ownership-level reporting → Relationships across a diverse, high-profile tenant mix → Vendors, service contracts, and on-site teams → The direct line between ownership and the asset — you're the face of the property

What We're Looking For

→ Strong retail and/or mixed-use property management background → Financially fluent — confident presenting to and being challenged by ownership → Comfortable in a high-visibility, high-expectation, tenant-facing environment → Someone who takes pride in the product itself, not just the process of managing it

Why Now

Assets like this don't turn over often, and the person who takes this on gets to help shape what "next chapter" looks like as the district continues to expand. If you want a role where the address does some of the talking — and you're ready to do the rest — let's talk.
