Tampa's $500 million Midtown Project Should be Done Before City Hosts Super Bowl in 2021
/An idea set into motion in the 1990s should see fruition before Tampa hosts its fifth Super Bowl in 2021. That’s according to Nicholas Haines, the CEO of developer Bromley Companies, which hopes to have its Midtown Tampa project done before the big game.
Haines shared the news about the 20-acre mixed-use district during a panel discussion on Wednesday and said that his company began assembling land for the development nearly three decades ago. The project is set to take up 1.8 million square feet and is located near the intersection of I-275 and North Dale Mabry Highway — less than two miles away from Raymond James Stadium.
The TBBJ said that the $500 million development will be built in a single phase starting in the second quarter.
According to its website, Midtown Tampa hopes to bridge the “Westshore and Downtown with a central neighborhood that's undeniably magnetic, energetic and contemporary, this is the social core that will define the future of city living in Tampa and beyond.”
The development will include a movie theater, Whole Foods, a Novel 225-key boutique hotel, a Novel 400 multi-family unit building, a three-acre landscaped pond lake, four acres of walkable public space and 240,000 square feet of mixed retail and entertainment space. In an email to CL, reps for the development added that there will also be a seven-story, 140,000 square-foot office building, Midtown One.
“We want Midtown to be not our 20 acres,” Haines said, “but an entire community.”
