Echelon Real Estate Services

What Echelon Real Estate Services does

Echelon Real Estate Services, LLC is a privately-held, Florida-based commercial real estate firm operating primarily in the Tampa Bay region with a secondary footprint in Fort Lauderdale. Founded in 1996 and headquartered at 210 Fountain Parkway North in St. Petersburg, the company runs a dual business model: a traditional commercial brokerage operation (property sales, leasing, and third-party tenant representation) and an owned-and-managed portfolio of commercial real estate assets. The company employs between 11 and 50 people and earns revenue primarily through transaction-based commissions on property sales and leases, supplemented by professional services fees for tenant representation and recurring rental income on owned assets. Pricing for owned inventory spans a wide band — from $19.00/RSF gross at the Gateway Technology Center in Pinellas Park to $44.00-$46.00/RSF gross full-service at 300 Las Olas Place in Fort Lauderdale — reflecting a heterogeneous mix of Class A office, tech, and mixed-use product.

The firm's owned portfolio is anchored by Carillon Park, a 432-acre mixed-use corporate park in the Gateway area of Tampa Bay that houses major financial services, insurance, and media/telecom employers including Raymond James Financial, Franklin Templeton, Aegon/Western Reserve Life, Allstate, PSCU, Bright House Networks, and Catalina Marketing. Other notable assets include Echelon City Center (180,000 RSF, 12-story mixed-use tower delivered in Summer 2022), 750 Central (250,000 RSF build-to-suit), and Gateway Technology Center (124,983 RSF tech facility). The brokerage arm has executed over $131 million in cumulative sold listings, with lead broker Michael S. Talmadge having closed over $190 million in career building sales and 6 million+ RSF leased over a 26+ year tenure. There is no evidence of a proprietary technology platform, AI/ML capabilities, or digital product; the firm's technology footprint is a static property-listing website (eresproperties.com) and direct broker relationships. The company is independently owned with no institutional investment, parent company, or public listing.
