Tampa City Council has approved the construction of a new 70,000-square-foot YMCA, along with a 6-acre mixed use development in Tampa Heights. Now, Ellison Development is sharing the first look of what the project will look like once complete.
Located within the Tampa Heights Historic District, the new YMCA will nearly double the space of the current Central City YMCA, at 110 E. Palm Ave.
In addition, the proposed development will include more than 20,000 square feet of curated green space, a 200-room lifestyle hotel, 184,000 square feet of office space, retail space and 400 multi-family units of which 10% will be set aside for affordable housing.
“We are excited to join forces with the YMCA on this transformative project that promises to bring about such positive changes. The YMCA’s impactful presence on the community is undeniable and it is truly an honor to contribute to making this a reality,” said Casey Ellison, president and chief executive officer of Ellison Development
Plans also call for the preservation of the Standard Oil Building, located at 110 E Oak Ave.
Working on the project with the YMCA are Ellison Development along with architects Fleischman Garcia Maslowski, engineers Kimley-Horn and Gardner Brewer Hudson, as zoning attorney.
