WellCare Commits to 380K-SF Tampa HQ Through 2030

WellCare Health Plans, Inc. is staying put in Tampa. The healthcare company renewed a 380,000-square-foot lease to retain its headquarters at 8725 Henderson Rd., and three nearby satellite offices through 2030.

Located at Waters Avenue and Henderson Road, the campus sits on 71 acres. The company moved into the property in 2004. It encompasses five office buildings, a cafeteria, a fitness center, walking trails, basketball courts, tennis courts and offers covered parking and walkways, which are connected by scenic wildlife preserves.

Cushman & Wakefield represented the tenant in the transaction. WellCare leases a total of 810,000 square feet of rental space in Tampa. The company is also expanding its Houston, Phoenix, and Nashville operations, as it has grown to 9,000 employees, half of whom are in the Tampa area.
