Tampa’s 5 Game-Changing Developments: The Future Looks Bright 😎

Tampa and its surrounding cities have been experiencing significant growth and transformation over the past decade. Today, I’m excited to share details on some of the most exciting projects on the horizon!
I’ve been in Tampa for 25 years in Tampa & I've seen it evolve from an unpolished diamond to a vibrant city. Over the last decade, and especially in the past five years, the pace of development has been remarkable.
Here are the top 5 projects poised to shape the Tampa Bay Area: *Note: Details may change as these projects progress.
Project #1: Pasco County - A Medical Mecca Pasco County, north of Tampa, is transforming into a hub for medical and life sciences. Highlights include:
-Angeline: A 6,200-acre mixed-use development anchored by Moffitt Cancer Center’s 775-acre Medical City, Spyros.

A new condo high-rise: Projected to be the tallest tower in Water Street.

Congratulations Moffitt Center & other Health orgs for demonstrating confidence in Tampa Bay for such worthy expansion!

[@richardadams6988]

Moffett, the best !! I'm here to tell you,!

[@timdailey8763]

Fantastic subject! I've been following the new development of the Tampa Bay area closely and this is the first video I have seen that captures everything going on into one informative video.

[@MelanieLovesTampaBay]

Thank you Tim ☺️

[@ltcmoose2001]

Some great projects here. One thing no one talks about is water. There is only so much water developers can take from the Florida Aquifer. The thing you don;t what is to have sea water seeping and contaminating your water supply. Sure it rains in Tampa. We did not get much rain over the past year. Many ponds are very low. This also causes sink holes. On the bright side, Tampa should lead in EV charging stations with the development of these projects. EV's work great in warm climates and not so well in cold weather Upstate New York . Thanks for keeping us up to date on these projects.

[@richardadams6988]

You are quite intuitive !! I like that ....

[@detroit163]

new hotels coming to Clearwater Beach. GOING WILD

[@davidevans3175]

[@MelanieLovesTampaBay]

We look forward to that!

[@richardadams6988]

[@surfsunsand]

Im trying to move there.

[@user-tb4hr2ry3u]

How are you doing beautiful Melanie any names of top subdivisions most popular in Tampa thanks

[@jamesblanton3744]

I lived in Tampa from 85 to 87 barley recognize the city but my old apartment complex is still there it was new when I moved in paid $300.00 a month for a 1 bedroom sure miss those prices live in a small north Florida town near the Suwannee River now

[@MelanieLovesTampaBay]

$300/mn actually seems like a lot back then! Yes, it has changed so much!

[@sallyluck7193]

But the Traffic ... that is whats killing the overgrowth in FL

[@MelanieLovesTampaBay]

There are absolutely growing pains With all of these developments, my hope is that smart infrastructure and roads are a priority while in the planning and approval stages. Also hope they focus on adding bike lanes, safe sidewalks, and public transportation

[@richardadams6988]

Well !! We can't be perfect !!! There works on it , I hope !

[@davidmotyka2708]

I want to move to Florida from Chicago but I hear it is overcrowded.

[@MelanieLovesTampaBay]

I hear that a lot but I think it totally depends on where in Florida you want to move. There are definitely areas that feel overcrowded but it’s all relative to what you’re used to. There are also areas that are very rural, especially in the panhandle and the center of the state (Orlando excluded). Florida has many personalities depending on where you are. Come explore the different cities for a bit and see if any of them feel like home

[@richardadams6988]

But we have beaches!!!!, and they are beautiful. When you move here, it takes some time to adjust to the lifestyle,

A lot of people have died this year from the Cockroach infestation is over there
