NAIOP of Northeast Florida, the region’s commercial real estate authority and trade association, is getting ready to kick off its exciting new event titled “Downtown Tour & Tasting.” The inaugural event will take place this Thursday, April 26, from 4 to 8:30 p.m. and will take guests on a fun tour of downtown office buildings that are currently available for lease or purchase. At each office location, the tour will feature select wines and tapas from different regions of the world, including New Zealand, Italy, Chile and Argentina.

“The goal of the Downtown Tour & Tasting event is to promote downtown development and generate interest in vacant office spaces that are available for companies to lease,” said Traci Jenks, president-elect for NAIOP and commercial real estate broker at CBRE. “This is a fun way to get real estate professionals downtown and show them the available office spaces for their clients to consider. There is a growing excitement surrounding downtown development and we believe this event will be yet another catalyst to continue that momentum.”

The Downtown Tour & Tasting event will begin at 4 p.m. at One Enterprise Center and then proceed to the AT&T Tower, 121 Atlantic Place, Bank of America Tower and will conclude at the Wells Fargo Center with an after party featuring the band Cloud 9, which is sponsored by Duckworth Construction Group, Perdue Inc. and Shaw Contract Group. The after party at the Wells Fargo Center will include featured wines and new brews from Intuition Ale Works.

Tickets to the event are $35 for members and non-members and include a special wine glass gift compliments of Centerstate Bank. Space on the tour is limited, so registration is required.
