The purchase of this 4th Floor office condo by Brea Berrios Investments, the owners of Symphonic Music Distribution, establishes a new ground zero for the music and cultural scene in Tampa, as well as for the US and globally. This will bring a lot of opportunities for branding and increase economic development in the community through the music entertainment industry. Cities such as Milwaukee, Chicago, Boston, Nashville, Los Angeles and Austin have made great strides utilizing music as a part of the needs and development of the local culture, as well as use in education and entertainment programs for their communities. The decision by Jorge Brea, CEO and the other executives of Symphonic to base their company in downtown Tampa will create an impact globally by bringing branding participation throughout many industries to our area.
