The Westshore area of Tampa continues its development boom as another luxury apartment complex rises from the ground. Grady Square, a $56-million luxury apartment community, is being built at the site once occupied by the former Without Walls International Church.
The new project joins
The Crescent, the new Hampton Inn & Suites at Avion Park, the
World of Beer and
Laser Spine Institute on the list of latest developments under construction in the Westshore area closest to Tampa International Airport and International Plaza.
The 300-unit community, situated along North Grady Avenue near West Columbus Avenue, will offer studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 574- to over 1,600-square-feet. It will be comprised of four stories surrounding three tropical courtyards, as well as a parking garage and elevator. Innovative amenities include a yoga/spin studio, meditation lounge and tech center. Other offerings include a hotel-inspired two-story clubhouse and fitness center.
The Richman Group of Florida is doing the construction on Grady Square.
“Our site is in the heart of the Westshore business district, which is not only the largest employment center in Tampa Bay, but it is the State of Florida's largest office market,” says Todd Fabbri, Executive VP for the
Richman Group of Florida, Inc. “We believe Westshore will continue to see healthy employment growth over the next several years. In addition to employment, our site enjoys close proximity to the best shopping options in the region, [including] International Plaza, just one mile west of the property.”
As construction continues on the project, Fabbri says there will be more job creation in the district.
“We estimate about 316 construction jobs will be created in the construction phase,” he says. “This does not account for any indirect jobs that would be created as well.”
Once the complex opens in summer 2016, Fabbri anticipates approximately seven to eight full-time positions will be created at the complex.
