Luxury apartments open in historic district

TAMPA — The Pearl, a waterside apartment community within walking distance of downtown Tampa's retail, restaurants and recreational offerings, recently opened in The Heights.

Located in one of Tampa's most historic neighborhoods, the three-building, 314-unit community was developed by SoHo Capital. It offers more than 16 floor plans split between one-, two- and three-bedroom units as well as one-bedroom lofts and some three-bedroom/two-and-a-half-bathroom townhouses equipped with private entrances.

According to a press release, the units' interiors maintain a “nautical meets industrial” motif via concrete accent walls, large crank windows and stainless steel appliances, granite-covered bathrooms, white quartz kitchen counters and wood-style flooring. A pet-friendly building, the Pearl uses energy-efficient lighting and a geothermal HVAC system, the release adds.
