If visitors leave the Tampa Bay Area for more than a week in 2019, they should anticipate significant transformations upon their return, given the rapid pace of construction activity. The region’s most prominent development initiative is Water Street Tampa, a $3-billion mixed-use project spanning 53 acres in downtown Tampa.
This venture—a partnership between Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and Cascade Investments—aims to create a comprehensive and forward-thinking urban neighborhood featuring residential towers, hospitality venues, and retail spaces.
