Gateway / Carillon: Market Overview
Carillon — a 442-acre master-planned office park developed by Echelon — is the dominant office concentration. Major tenants include Raymond James (St. Petersburg HQ), Jabil (global electronics HQ), and dozens of professional services firms. The park's campus environment, lake amenities, and direct I-275 access make it the premier suburban office address in Pinellas County.
The broader Gateway submarket extends through Gateway Centre and adjacent commercial corridors, with meaningful retail (St. Pete Premium Outlets) and industrial inventory serving Pinellas County logistics demand.
Gateway's combination of established corporate base, direct interstate access, and amenity-rich campus environment has produced durable office occupancy and pricing — particularly versus the broader suburban office market that has faced post-2020 headwinds.
