The multi-phase project will connect Tampa’s historical Ybor City with downtown districts, transforming a currently underused area through the provision of residential, retail, and commercial properties.
The project is named after a gas production facility that was decommissioned long ago. It spans 50 acres (over 200,000 m2) between Ybor City, famous for its rich cigar-making heritage and pedestrian-friendly environment, and the Channel District in downtown Tampa.
The project involves a new streetcar stop connected to Tampa’s public transit system which provides a connection between Ybor City to Channelside Bay Plaza, the convention center core, as well as to downtown dining, shopping and entertainment destinations. Over 200 bus lines service the Tampa Bay area. Rail commuters will find Tampa Union Station’s daily nation-wide routes, while those driving in town will find plenty of parking in Tampa and well-connected interstates, and roadways offering easy access to Orlando, Sarasota, Ft. Myers, and the east coast of Florida.
