Like on either side of the Selmon Expressway between downtown and Meridian. Maybe after C-side and the Franklin St. corridor is more developed, that will be the next frontier. I know there is a lot going on, but it seems like it can't happen fast enough. I feel like we're in a cycle where the market and financing rates are both attractive enough for the much needed high-rise residential development we're seeing, but this dynamic won't last forever and what does not get started now or soon might not get done until the market is right again (another 10 or 15 years?). However, it seems like what's being developed now should be substantial enough to trigger some follow-up development like cafe's, retail, entertainment, etc. Just imho.

Sure, there is an empty area just in the middle of it all - but I think that is good - nothing to tear down, no real height limits, no nimbys . . .

Also, if you work downtown, walk across that "expanse" sometime and you will realize that it is basically 4-5 Tampa blocks - which are quite small. It looks huge because of where it is, but it really isn't. It is land of opportunity.

Of course, that is also the downside, because the owners are hoarding hte land, paying their taxes with revenue from the parking, and waiting to see what happens.

My personal oppinioni s that one of the most crucial lots in all of downtown - if not the most crucial lot - is the lot just south of the Ft. Brooke Garage (I beliee the city actually owns the lot, but I am not sure - someone could do a property check if so inclined). THat lot will connect the convention center/hotel/forum area to the CBD (I really don't think of it that way, but so be it). That is the lot that will make downtown connect. It needs to be filled.

If I was running this city I would put a real big urban park just East of the Crosstown, north of the O2 site. I would also raise height limits to like 900-1000 feet on the south side of downtown "expanse." :)

I don't think it'll take another 10-15 years. True, the market will slow next year. But given the emergence of the luxury highrise lifestyle, highrises will continue to sprout over time, albeit not always at a frenetic pace.

I hope it won't take 10 - 15 yrs, but I was just basing that on general high-rise development patterns in Tampa since the 70's. Seems like about every ten years or so, a handful of new buildings (offices) get developed and then nothing more happens until the next cycle. Maybe the fact that most of the projects under development now are primarily residential buildings will be the difference.

Seems like an increased height limit in "the expanse" would be a good strategy. Many other more-developed downtowns are developed that way. It would increase density and encourage in-fill; it would give taller buildings in the middle a view of water over the smaller buildings along the waterfront; and it would be visually more effective. Imagine, if city commissioners would just see downtown as a place for "tall buildings" we might just get somewhere with it.

Yeah, and I was just suggesting that the peaks and troughs are not going to be as pronounced anymore due to changing demographic trends, i'e', people wanting to live downtown. et.al.

The rules are changing. It's not likely going to be a handful of buildings, and then wait several years for another handful. Growth will be continuous (though not always manic).

From what I understand, some developers are dropping their own plans in favor of cashing out quickly on the tremendous jump in real estate prices. I spoke with a few seasoned developers which explained most projects will come to fruition if the developers have the financial resources and clout to make it happen.
Land owners who were hoping to become players will sell out on the appreciation of their land but the demand is still there.

Nice aerial shots of downtown and the channelside district. But in my opinion, Tampa's CBD looks much more impressive from street level than in the air. Hopefully that will all change within the next 3 to 5 years or so. Does anyone have the most current list of hi-rise proposals over 600 ft??

Impressive pictures, although channelside isn't. I hate all those parking lots on the Ybor Channel. It'd totally change the landscape of channelside if that turned into parkland. Hopefully we'll get some more constructions soon. It appears as though the Novare Channelside lot is cleared in thos pictures with trailers. Are those trailers for the Place or is the Novare project close to beggining? I didnt think it had approval yet. Because of Channelsides geography and how the roads are layed out Channelside has great potential. Hopefully the can get the rest of the Channelside projects going soon because we need more action there! :)

Railroad yard could be turned into a mass transit center and a large urban park. I have no idea about con arga. I think eventually we'll see some highrises built on both sides of Meridian.

Updates would be interesting because Towers@Channelside is taller than the parking garage. The Place west side is almost topped out and Grand Central and Ventana are getting there. These pictures have cranes showing potential. Pictures today would have buildings showing potential. Pictures next year will look completely different.

Seaport Channelside is still on its developers website as "under development" and even has some renderings, but no 30 sory tower. There were some Earth mover on its site a few weeks back. I'll try to find the developers website again today or tomorrow.

I checked the website - mostly useless and no email addressto contact. I saw teh equipment, but they were supposed to be underway and tehre is not even a sign on the lot - though someone took the trouble to get the height variance and the city council acts like it is still a go, so I guess we should assume it is for now.

Ok so are they going to tear down the ware houses to build this, because I think that they should incorporate the design of the warehouse into the design like the Electra project in San Diego. As far a Con Agra, I do not think they are going to move them just yet. They (City of Tampa) is not in a big need for the land yet.

The land was just an empty lot. Never had any warehouses. The Victory Lofts Condos in Channelside used to be a bread factory I think.

Looking at aerials of the area I've thought the same thing - what a great place for a mass transit terminal. Room for a station; ROW already in place; right in the middle of future development (see comments above). County and city ought to do some forward thinking before the opportunity is lost.

smiley
April 17th, 2006, 10:45 PM
Will not happen. . . maybe the city will one day buy it and make it a park (you could buy it all, sell off part to fund some of it and make a good park out of the rest, encouraging good development around it.

As for mass transit - the more I think the more I think monorail. Get to where you want to be - even TGH if you want.

Go to the 5th floor of the Channelside garage (not the absolute top) and there is an outdoor portion on the north end. It actually gives better views (in many ways) than the absolute top level

I was surprised at the rapidity of construction as well.

You also have to note- the Western Grand Central tower (which I think it the 14 story tower) is only a few stories tall and does not show up in these pics (to the left of what you can see- under the blue and white crane) When it is done, there will be a solid wall at Kennedy as you look north from channelside - which I kind of like.

I understand that the Novare project has undergone some changes since their original proposal last year. Nothing has been released on this yet, so no new renderings.

Finergy Group has proposed a hotel and condo tower at 12th and Kennedy (to replace Amazon Rubber), but there aren't any renderings on their website yet.

I can see my car in one of those pictures... I park in front of either Victory Lofts or Model T each work day. :) I quite like the setting on 12th street. Its perhaps the only part of the city proper where I feel in a truly modern, urban setting. Of course, it only lasts for one block, but it is somewhat refreshing. The area will be quite a pleasure to walk soon enough. I only hope there is enough well positioned locations for restaurants in the district, as well as a bit more walkability. A cafe or two outside of the CSide complex would be wonderful.

Ya I hope that the retail space in the bottom of all these buildings will be filled, which I'm sure they will be when the area fills in itself. 12th street is going to look awesome, and its "urbanismed area" will be extended North as the Place, Novare, Finergy and if anything becomes of the Lafyatte.

That's what I've heard, Quegiebo, although I haven't seen any renderings. It seems that this "point tower" concept is now the accepted model (by many) for the Channel District. No huge slabs that cast huge shadows and block views, but taller more elegant towers spaced throughout the district. We will see if that flies or not.

I'm also hoping something can be done with the Seaboard Square sales center. The building is quite old, but they fixed it up a bit with a fresh paint job before letting it go again. Something could be done... a nice restaurant conversion with a bit of parking and outdoor, park-like setting would be a winner, imo. I would prefer it if they tore down the building and put up something newer, though...

Well Seaboard square actually isn't dead yet. It was bought by Sembler and the height of some of the towers was increased so I think its a 22, 16, 6, and 4 stroy tower project. They still have a website, even though its nothing much its something.

I would rather that parcel become a park before becoming what you describe.

And lately I've been thinking that the port authority and city should tell the Byrd Corp that they have sat on the DT Channelside site long enough, and revoke thier development rights to it, and turn it into more parkland... Of course, this si already past being a real possibility, unless Byrd Corp somehow magically recinds its right to build (lolol!)...

Dt Tampa needs some decent parkland, because what it has now sucks ass.

I agree, it'd be nice if the O2 site could turn into a nice sized park, along with the Seaboard Square site, and for the sake of the Waterfront I wouldn't mind the Blu site be turned into a park, especially since the City is going to limit the number of units on that lot, which means it'll either be a very small shit box tower or an overpriced luxury condo, so why not a nice waterfront park, easy access to channelside residents??

Not sure that parcel would make for a prime park... though in this day and age, any green is pretty exceptional. The parcel is bordered by a Starship Yacht warehouse and a parking garage...

Where will The Place's park be? Or was it only Novare who promised a park?

Novare promised a small 1/2 acre (small but something) park fronting 11th street.

So the place must have been the public art promise. Right.

I'll take both the art and the park. By the way, there is a really nice interior design store in the first floor of the Meridian. Furniture and stuff. Furthermore, there is a luxury spa boutique of sorts in the first floor of the Victory Lofts....

I've never heard of this being 3 towers. I think it's just one and it will be surrounded by townhomes. Regardless though, this is definitely a big, thick tower.

It is interesting to see the different construction tecniques - between this tower and the Skypoint tower. It looks like they are laying out beams and then covering them with pieces of metal to create a platform before the concrete pour. Skypoint uses those huge metal platforms that piece together much more quickly.

So, like FF says, will we see more in the future? I don't remember the site being big enough for that many towers...

At least we get one.

Well, one method results in improved mitigation of sound transfer from floor to floor. The other doesn't.

I've never heard of it not being three towers.

Does anyone know if the plan changed at some point or something?

The site is huge and I think only about half of it is U/C. I could've sworn I've heard its 3 towers alothough I have no sources to confirm. :( However I looked back and did see that the front Tampa List in the development thread has 3 towers. :hm:

Yes, I attended a recent meeting with the developer and they stated they are planning one more residential tower as well as a condotel (for sale hotel rooms) tower.

This developer is extremely agressive and is also planning a massive redevelopment site on Rocky Point with up to 1900 units along with retail and office uses as well.

Thanks with the news. Did he say anything about height on the residential or how many units for that? Why a hotel? Maybe it's just me, but I think it's stupid to build a hotel in middle of a residential area, screws it up.

A word document is all but useless...I need a list arranged just like the existing list... Basically a synopsis for each project... Project name, hieght, floors, cost, units/square footage, developer, rendering, web address for the project's site, etc, etc... All arranged just like an existing entry, so that simple cutting and pasting into the thread yields a new entry.
