😳Almost 40 Acres of Ybor Channel’s Waterfront is OFFICIALLY APPROVED for redevelopment!🥳

Details reposted from TampaTomorrow 🙏Great job!

The master-planned project runs South of Adamo Drive, East of Channelside Drive, and West of North 19th Street along the Ybor Channel.

The land is currently used as an industrial ship repair yard and more than likely will need remediation.

Upon completion, the finished product will include up to 6 million square feet of residential, office, hotel, and retail space, comprising 4,750 residential units, 500,000 square feet of general office space, 800 hotel rooms, and 156,000 square feet of commercial retail space spanning 20 blocks. The subject property is a 38.30-acre tract, and the access this land provides to the waterfront is invaluable.

From a design perspective, the project plans to engage the portion and activate the waterfront. The activation will include a boardwalk lined with restaurant retail uses, piers, boat slips, floating docks, and green space. This development will have a huge impact on the growth of Ybor adding even more high-rises to the skyline along with ground floor experiential retail! Everyone, welcome your new District Ybor Harbor!

Make sure to follow TampaTomorrow for more updates.
