My Tampa Bay

To call the Tampa Bay market unique is an understatement. West central Florida offers something for everyone: agriculture, commerce and industry, shipping ports, international cruise and air travel, professional sports teams, universities, fine arts museums, rural communities, new housing and condominium developments and, of course, tourism, beautiful weather and white sandy beaches.

St. Petersburg, Tampa and Clearwater are the metropolitan hubs within Pinellas, Pasco, Hernando, Citrus and Hillsborough counties. Nearly 2.8 million residents call it home, with an additional 250,000 seasonal residents from all corners. After you add 27.5 million tourists spending $5.1 billion annually, it’s apparent how vibrant and lucrative the Tampa Bay market is.

Tampa Bay’s cultural mix is as rich and varied as Florida’s history. We have a diverse cross-section of residents and visitors from around the world. Retirement communities, golf courses, towering condominiums, new and emerging neighborhoods and a renaissance of urban areas dot the landscape. Corporate headquarters, light industry, major shopping complexes and thousands of large and small independently owned businesses form the commercial core of Tampa Bay commerce. Night-life abounds throughout the community. Festivals, ethnic and cultural showcases, expos and major league sports, including Super Bowl and Stanley Cup winning teams, bring an international focus to the Tampa Bay market. It's a place where people love to live, work, play and visit...it’s my Tampa Bay!
