GRA-FX Design of Tampa is slated to be in 4,000 square feet that has never been leased. It plans to be in the space by March, a release from Chicago-based property owner M&J Wilkow said.
Also, Rock-N-Sports Bar & Grille opened Dec. 14.
Financial terms of the leases were not disclosed.
Centro Ybor has 192,906 square feet of leased space and is more than 90 percent occupied. There is 20,588 square feet of total vacant space, or 9.64 percent, the release said.
Rock-N-Sports initially opened in June 2005 and soon became a relocation spot for many people who moved to Tampa after being displaced by Hurricane Katrina. Its new location in the former Barleyhopper's bar at Centro Ybor has a larger seating capacity than its original location nearby and gives the business two outside dining areas. It has a game room that contains 45 TVs over 6,000 square feet.
GRA-FX Design employs 13 people. It is an interactive media company specializing in print, graphic and Web site design that was founded in 1990. It spent the last 14 years operating in the Ybor Square building in Ybor City.
The firm's arrival adds another creative industries business to the center, which its owners envision to have a "funky, edgy, Bohemian and artsy" image, M&J Wilkow Vice President David Harvey said in the release.
The firm's space design was described in a release as "very high tech" with wide open space, a loft area and 40-foot tall ceilings.
GRA-FX joins Tampa Digital Studios, a large digital media production firm, which relocated its 32 employees in September to 10,000 square feet in Centro Ybor.
The move was part of a vision to turnaround the mixed-use center as a cultural hub for creative industries as well as entertainment, the release said.
Centro Ybor is located at Eighth Avenue between 15th and 17th streets in Tampa's Ybor City.
