Greenleaf Capital, the Real Estate Division of HCI Group, Enters Into New Multi-Year Lease Agreement for Office Campus in Tampa

TAMPA, Fla., March 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HCI Group, Inc. (NYSE: HCI) announced today that GEICO has signed a multi-year lease agreement to fully occupy a three building campus in Tampa, Florida owned as an investment property by Greenleaf Capital, the company’s real-estate division.

“We are excited to secure a long-term tenant who plans to bring more than 1,000 new jobs to our local community,” said Paresh Patel, HCI’s chairman and chief executive officer.

Greenleaf acquired the office campus in 2023, which includes approximately 190,000 square feet of leasable space.

Greenleaf has a proven history of acquiring properties at favorable prices, enhancing them through strategic improvements, and generating tremendous long-term value for HCI shareholders,” said Paresh Patel, HCI’s chairman and chief executive officer.
