Tampa International Airport officials have halted demolition plans for at least a week on the former Continental Airlines reservation center along Jim Walter Boulevard after a Realtor with a local client expressed interest in leasing the building, possibly for $600,000 annually for 10 years.
Jones Lang LaSalle, which is representing an interested party from the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, toured the vacant building and is discussing a 10 to 15 year lease, airport director Louis Miller said Tuesday before a staff meeting.
Miller said if a lease deal were reached, the airport would arrange with the contractor who was retained to clear space for subsequent aviation industry use to stop its work.
Hillsborough County Aviation Authority board member Steven Burton, who last week was overruled in an effort to halt demolition by a 3-1 board vote, said he was pleased discussions were under way on a potential lease.
