311 Apartments Designed For North Hyde Park, Tampa

A new residential development of urban apartments is in the works for the North Hyde Park neighborhood of Tampa.

Located just west of the University of Tampa at 403 N. Rome Ave., NoHo Flats at North Hyde Park is a 311-unit urban apartment project developed by Atlanta-based Pollack Shores Real Estate Group; the 7-building complex is slated to feature state-of-the-art amenities in an active part of of the city just west of downtown.

“The property is adjacent to 20 acres owned by Tampa General Hospital, which plans to build a major rehab center there,” says Ben Lee, principal of Schifino Lee Advertising and Branding, who is working with developers on the project.

Pollack Shores purchased the NoHo Flats development site for $4.8 million from Tampa-based Hyde Park Realty Group months ago. Upon completion of the project, the area is envisioned as similar to the South Hyde Park neighborhood.

Promoting a lifestyle of urban living, NoHo Flats will feature vertical bike racks for tenant use while a linear park and streetscape with sidewalks, streetlights, trees, benches and landscaping will be included in the construction of the project; the park will be open to the public.

In addition, Pollack Shores will lend support to build a community center at Vila Brothers Park, less than one mile from the development.

A fountain courtyard with fire pits, a fitness center including a multipurpose yoga/spin room, an outdoor pet area and large indoor clubroom with bar are among the lifestyle amenities to be offered at NoHo Flats. More than 90 on-street parking spots are to be built for public and tenants' guests to use. Interior unit features include custom cabinets, quartz countertops, faux wood flooring, custom tile and stainless steel appliances.

The project will break ground on October 24th and is expected to see completion by late 2013.
