Inter related

It's been called the “condo king of Miami,” but the Related Group is amassing something of an empire in the Tampa area, as well, thanks to a handful of projects it's developing containing nearly 1,500 residences.

Unlike its experience in South Florida, though, Related to date is making its mark along the Gulf Coast with market-rate rental developments, including a high-rise on Harbour Island, new units on the site of the former Tampa Tribune and at the Westshore Marina District, between Tampa and St. Petersburg.

Meanwhile, another company entity is partnering with the Tampa Housing Authority to revamp a 150-acre tract known as the West River, where they are expected to upgrade roughly 700 affordable housing units, sprinkle in another 900 units of market-rate housing, construct up to 170,000 square feet of commercial space and develop an art-centric, 23-acre park.
