Any traffic concerns?

Ok, now I am really fascinated as they were pouring concrete into something inside the very large yellow thing on the NE corner of the lot. Really odd stuff . . . any explanation would be appreciated.

Taking a stab here Smiley:

Now, i don't know WHAT is being done as I have not seen it but LAST time we saw early-processes Concrete pouring, it was just a "This is how you do it" type of application going on at Skypoint (the arch).

That may be the case at the Trump site, with whatever they are doing. I'm curious what is going on too - espectially with your posts.

I saw them dumping the concrete in there today too. I saw the yellow thing last week, and it was obviously a form for a cylinder. I'm not sure what would be that big though.

It looks like all of the projects u/c are doing well, and making good progress. Only 1000 Channelside seems to be going slowly IMO.

From what I can tell of the rendering - that area is supposed to not have anything built on it, which is why I think it may be a base for a crane - why would you possibly make any practice run on something so big.

Trump Shores Up
The developers of Trump Tower Tampa said Tuesday that they are reinforcing the sea wall that abuts their property along the Hillsborough River. Spokesman David Hooks said the wall was not strong enough to support the 52-foot condominium tower. Hooks said he did not know how long the work would take and would not set a date for the tower's completion. Developers still need final permit approval for the tower.

Sorry, I haven't been paying any attention to this project's site for a couple weeks...

is it actually u/c, or are they still doing site work (seawall)?

Casey · September 21st, 2005, 09:18 PM

^ As of last weekend when I was downtown, they are still doing sitework.

Now it's hard to tell what's going on with the tall fence up. You can park somewhere and look at it from Brorein over the river. Other than that, you can't see clearly from Ashley.

Jasonhouse · October 6th, 2005, 12:44 AM

^I prefer going to the top of the Wachovia garage, as I did today.

Nope, nothing worth mention is coming out of the ground yet.

randommichael · October 6th, 2005, 06:36 PM

I have a great view from 400 N. Ashely (AKA Rivergate Tower). It looks like they are moving some dirt and mostly working on the sea wall. Nothing exciting yet.

robbie · October 11th, 2005, 08:44 PM

Since you are right there, could you be willing to give us updates? At least twice a month?

Jasonhouse · October 11th, 2005, 09:54 PM

^I will be checking it at least that frequently, as will others, I'm sure.

robbie · October 12th, 2005, 03:05 AM

Thanks Jason. Where do you think the next hot property will be in the big T?

robbie · October 12th, 2005, 03:11 AM

Sounds like fun! Maybe that's what I should do. Actually, in the spring I'd like to ride my bike around DT and Bayshore. Just don't want to get burned by the blazing sun. What the hell...

Jasonhouse · October 12th, 2005, 03:15 AM

^???

I thought it might be where that riverside hotel (or whatever it's called) near Ashley/Kennedy, but someone already bought that, and is dumping several million into a renovation.

basically 'any' underdeveloped waterfront property in Tampa is going get very hot in the coming years. However, I don't think it will be very soon, since there are already thousands of units already planned or under development on several sites around the city.

robbie · October 12th, 2005, 03:39 AM

What do you think the chances of this hotel's survival is? Do you think a condo will do better on this site?

smiley · October 12th, 2005, 04:02 AM

The Trump lot was unique in the core of Tampa as it had been discussed as a high rise lot for decades. There are no other riverfront lots that will be high rise in the core for a while.

TPAMAN · October 14th, 2005, 05:12 PM

Did anyone read about two of the original partners selling their interest in the project? Think this will slow it down?

Jasonhouse · October 14th, 2005, 11:54 PM

No. It's basically u/c.

They probably wanted to cash out to move on to something else, where they could hae a higher stake and stand to make more.
