Rays secure office space near Trop
October 23, 2024 - The Tampa Bay Rays announced Wednesday afternoon that they have secured temporary office space near Tropicana Field after Hurricane Milton damaged the stadium. Hundreds of staffers who have worked remotely since the storm will now move into the former UPC Insurance building at 800 2nd Ave. S. in St. Petersburg. Tampa-based development firm Third Lake Partners acquired the 40,588-square-foot facility in 2022 for $10.5 million. The Rays and city officials continue assessing damage to the Trop.
