Lincoln Property Company Returns to Open Tampa Bay Office, CRE Veteran Jon Slater Returns to his Roots to Lead Area Operations

TAMPA BAY / ORLANDO – Lincoln Property Company Southeast (LPC), a full service commercial real estate firm based in Orlando, and developer of that city’s new 28-story SunTrust Tower at Church Street, is establishing a presence again in Tampa Bay.

LPC played a prominent role in Tampa’s office development boom in the 1980s, adding to the landscape such landmarks as The Urban Centre, Lincoln Center, The Pointe (formerly Lincoln Pointe), said Jon Slater, Senior VP of Brokerage Services at the new office.  In Tampa Bay, LPC provides a full spectrum of brokerage services, including occupier representation as well as leasing and management services.  Slater will also be working to identify expansion opportunities for LPC through a mix of acquisition of existing projects and new developments in the Tampa MSA.  “We are looking to add additional brokers and administrative staff,” he said. 

While obtaining an MBA at the Crummer Graduate School of Business at Rollins College, Slater initially joined LPC as an intern.  He moved with them to Tampa in 1995, where he remained through 1998.  After a successful 15-year tenure with Savills, Inc. he has returned to LPC to re-establish its full-service brokerage presence in Tampa Bay at 490 1^st Avenue South in downtown St. Petersburg.  “Our return here is very much a coming home for me personally,” Slater said.

“We’re thrilled that Jon has returned. There’s no one better to further our plans for growth again in Tampa Bay,” said Scott Stahley, Executive Vice President of Lincoln Property Company Southeast.
