In St. Petersburg, New York-based Thorofare Capital funded a $13.1 million refinancing of the debt on Pinellas Business Center, which is also a one-story building with no shared lobbies. David Perlman, managing director at Thorofare, told the Tampa Bay Business Journal that he was anticipating the building would see increased interest from companies due to Covid-19. The pandemic has decision-makers rethinking their approach to office space, and without shared lobbies or elevators, a single-story office or flex building like Regency North offers more control than a multitenant office tower or midrise.
