About the District

What Is Water Street Tampa?

Water Street Tampa is a multibillion-dollar mixed-use district along Tampa’s downtown waterfront developed by Strategic Property Partners, the real estate company formed through a partnership involving Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik and Cascade Investment. Unveiled in 2017, the project was planned as more than 9 million square feet of development across more than 50 acres, with its first phase adding apartments, offices, hotels, restaurants and retail while rebuilding streets and public spaces between downtown and the waterfront.

More than 2,000 people now live in Water Street Tampa, and Strategic Property Partners continues to advance residential, hospitality, retail, entertainment and public-space projects across the district. TBBW Magazine follows that growth, reporting on development, construction, leases, tenants and the businesses investing in Water Street Tampa.
