TAMPA - One of downtown Tampa's landmark office buildings has a new landlord.

Stiles Capital Partners, an investment group based in Fort Lauderdale, says it has purchased SunTrust Financial Centre, the 36-story, ziggurat-topped tower at 401 E. Jackson Street.

Stiles didn't disclose what it paid for the building. The company said Macquarie Office Trust, an investment group based in Sydney, Australia, is a partner in the deal.

SunTrust Financial Centre houses the local headquarters of SunTrust Bank. It's also home to a number of legal and accounting firms. The 527,237-square-foot building, which opened in 1992, is one of the most prominent features in downtown Tampa's skyline because of its distinctive roof, which is lit in different colors on special occasions.
