TAMPA, FL – March 17, 2025 – Stream Realty Partners, a national commercial real estate firm offering an integrated platform of services, announces that American Integrity Insurance has signed a 75,000-square-foot lease at Bayport Plaza, a premier Class A office tower located at 3000 Bayport Drive in Tampa’s Westshore submarket. The company will relocate its headquarters within the submarket to Bayport Plaza in early 2026.
Stream represented American Integrity Insurance in the transaction, with Executive Managing Director Gary Godsey leading the efforts. The lease will position American Integrity as the first tenant to secure building-top signage at Bayport Plaza. The company will occupy three floors of the building, reinforcing its commitment to growth and investment in Tampa.
“By evaluating the entire market and uncovering an off-market opportunity, we were able to identify a space that aligns perfectly with American Integrity’s long-term vision and operational needs,” said Godsey. “Securing this lease in a highly recognizable Class A building provides American Integrity with a headquarters location that supports their brand, recruitment efforts, and business objectives.”
Owned by GEM Realty Capital and IP Capital Partners, Bayport Plaza offers a unique blend of timeless architecture, modern amenities, and an unparalleled location. The building is directly connected to the Grand Hyatt, which is also owned by GEM Realty Capital and IP Capital Partners, providing tenants with premium hospitality services, unparalleled amenities, airport access, and water views. The Westshore submarket spans nearly 14 million square feet—nearly twice the size of Downtown Tampa—and serves as a hub for major corporate tenants.
“We are thrilled to welcome American Integrity Insurance to Bayport Plaza,” said Jake Lewis, Managing Director and Co-Head of Asset Management at GEM Realty Capital. “Their decision to establish their headquarters here underscores the building’s premier status in the market, and we are excited to see them contribute to the continued energy and momentum in the Westshore submarket.”
American Integrity Insurance, led by CEO Robert Ritchie and President Jon Ritchie, is one of Florida’s leading property insurance companies. The relocation to Bayport Plaza is a strategic move aimed at enhancing workplace experience, fostering collaboration, and positioning the company for continued expansion.
“Establishing our new headquarters at Bayport Plaza marks a pivotal moment in American Integrity’s journey,” said Bob Ritchie, CEO of American Integrity Insurance. “This strategic relocation underscores our dedication to Tampa’s vibrant business landscape and reflects our commitment to providing our employees with a state-of-the-art workspace. By positioning ourselves in such a prestigious location, we aim to foster innovation, enhance collaboration, and continue our trajectory of growth, all while contributing positively to the community we proudly call home.”
