The Upcoming Ventures of Tampa Construction Agenda:

Published by Lance Mohr | Filed under General

Tampa’s flat-lined condo market, started to become a bit lively, showing some signs of life. Yes, three huge construction plans are in the execution stage and are on the way. One is the twin 27-story towers north of the St. Pete Times Forum. The others are needle-shaped towers more than 500 feet tall east of the city’s Whiting Street parking garage.

The Federal Aviation Administration already said that the buildings will pose in such a way that no hazards to private planes flying in and out of nearby Peter O. Knight Airport. So board chairman Al Austin, an office building developer, asked how soon the projects might begin with housing sales in a prolonged slump.”I’m not quite sure of the plans,” said Seth Schimmel, an attorney for Channelside Development LLC, which is proposing the twin condo towers, called Crescent Heights. “I can’t say if it will be six months or.…”

Attorney Keith Bricklemyer, representing developers of Whiting Tower and Jefferson Tower said, “It depends on how soon the housing market picks up”.

As planned earlier, the Tampa’s new construction projects will be extremely stylish, thinner and taller as well. Each of them is planned to built on a quarter of a square block — Whiting Tower on a corner of Whiting and Morgan streets, and Jefferson Tower on a corner of Whiting and Jefferson. The spires of each tower would reach up more than 550 feet. Downtown Tampa’s tallest building, 100 North Tampa, is 601 feet. Nearby, the Bank of America Tower tops out at 589 feet.
