They have fenced off the park (Waterworks/Bum park) for construction as well. Good sign!

That picture in the article that Smiley posted shows the renderings very small, but it looks nice.

The local wages seem a bit off to me. I look at the stats and they seem quite low. I'm not sure I know anyone who makes the average. I wonder how they come up with those numbers. tampa family law

Residents want historic church turned to community center
By JOSÉ PATIÑO GIRONA | The Tampa Tribune
Published: May 21, 2009

TAMPA - Tampa Heights residents want to turn a vacant, historic church into a community center.

Three neighborhood groups on Thursday asked city council members to consider allowing them to use the property, rehabilitate it and waive any building permit fees.

The organizations plan to use volunteer crews to rehabilitate the church for future youth, civic and community programs.

The city council asked its staff to present a report at the June 4 meeting explaining if the city can allow the organizations to lease the property from the city. The property is owned by Florida's Department of Transportation, which has said it is open to leasing the old church to the city, organizers said.

Faith Temple Missionary Baptist Church, 602 E. Palm Ave., was located at the site. The building has been vacant for years and its windows are boarded.

The church was built in 1923, and is known for its Gothic Revival architecture.

Not sure if anyone has been to the The Heights Website lately, but they have updated pictures:

I'd like to see more density. It's better than what's there though.

TampaMike · June 10th, 2009, 07:58 PM

What's the height limit there?

These renders look way better than the ones on the last page. But we only get renders with color on the building. The last renders were disturbing when it came to pretty much anything. And I know there is the "It's better then nothing", but the last renders had me wish they left it as nothing. Hopefully this time they decided on some more favorable paint color.

FloridaFuture · June 10th, 2009, 09:37 PM

A bit slabbier then I was hoping.

AKBTampa · June 11th, 2009, 03:37 AM

Thanks for posting Youngkg. Also, the Beck office building is going up fairly quickly.

JBrisco · June 11th, 2009, 04:55 AM

I think I'm going to a site visit there for my Materials and Methods Class. My professor is an architect for Beck.

smiley · June 11th, 2009, 03:17 PM

Don't worry. Nothing major will go there for 5-10 years, if then

TampaMike · June 11th, 2009, 07:55 PM

Maybe it was just me, but I always though that the Four Seasons Hotel and Residence would had worked out if moved in the vicinity of Tampa Heights. Out of the path of Peter O'Knight, easy to get to downtown from the area, and the design would had fit in the area more than in the center of Tampa. I wonder if Tampa could ever persuade Four Seasons to come back to Tampa and build in the area. Of course, working with neighbors with traffic and everything that would be brought up.

You'd have to finish the riverwalk first! Walking through central Tampa Heights is not the nicest looking district of Tampa. They'd either need to finish the riverwalk or have mass transit to and out from that location.

Not that hard to get from the location into CBD and Downtown, but if they had to, they could make Doyle Carlton Dr. a one-way street going north and use the extra lane for a trolley system connecting to plan extension. The Riverwalk phase will almost undoubtly be finish before anything developed like my plan. But it wouldn't hurt if they did so anyways.

JBrisco · June 12th, 2009, 07:10 PM

^ Now that is a good option, but maybe they should look at Doyle Carlton as being the Air Cargo Road of Tampa Heights.
If you've been down West Shore in drew park at Hillsborough you'll know what I mean, that road is gonna be amazing.
Air Cargo Road is heavily pedestrianized, Sidewalks, bike paths/running path separated from sidewalk on an asphault like sidewalk elevated off the street, lots of trees and plants that give it a natural beauty. It is something else.

Jasonhouse · June 12th, 2009, 09:59 PM

^Too bad it doesn't go anywhere... Like under the runway to connect with Westshore or Lois on the south side.
