Atlanta-based developer Rooker has started construction on a 301,600-square-foot industrial building at 7500 Old Pasco Road in Wesley Chapel, staking a bigger claim in the fast-growing North Tampa 75 park. The new structure, called North Tampa 75 Building 2, joins a multi-building project that already brought a 187,000-square-foot facility online last year as part of Pasco County’s larger push to ramp up logistics space north of Tampa.

As reported by CoStar, site work kicked off this month, and the building is going up on a speculative basis for regional and national distribution tenants. The report also identifies Rooker as the Atlanta-based design-build developer leading the project.

What Rooker Is Building

Rooker describes North Tampa 75 Building 2 as a rear-load, concrete tilt-wall distribution facility with roughly 36-foot clear height, a 185-foot truck court and about 3,000 square feet of office space. The listing notes that the site is already graded, with master stormwater ponds in place, and pegs target availability for the fourth quarter of 2026.

A CBRE marketing flyer for the park confirms Building 2 at 301,600 square feet and maps Phase II at roughly 670,780 square feet of new Class A space spread across multiple buildings.

County Backing and Local Impact

Pasco County’s FY 2024 economic-growth report explains that North Tampa 75 was assembled from surplus county land with the help of public grants and development incentives. The county projects the park will support roughly 1,500 full-time jobs and more than $48 million in economic output once built out.

The same report notes that the park’s first 187,000-square-foot building received its certificate of completion in July 2023 and is already fully leased, a pretty clear signal that users are hungry for new distribution space in this stretch of the I-75 corridor.

Market Context

Industry research shows Tampa Bay’s industrial construction pipeline has cooled after a surge of recent deliveries, but tenants are still gravitating toward modern, well-located warehouse product, according to Cushman & Wakefield’s Q1 2026 MarketBeat.

On its LinkedIn page, Rooker says Building 2 is rising alongside a 205,380-square-foot build-to-suit Building 4, with both projects slated to deliver in the fourth quarter of 2026.

Leasing And Timeline

Leasing for North Tampa 75 is being handled by CBRE, whose park marketing materials list local brokers and contact information for prospective tenants.

With direct frontage near I-75, plus planned road widenings and a new interchange in the works, developers say the park is positioned to serve both regional distribution and last-mile operations, in other words, the kind of logistics setup where fast access to the highway really does equal money.
