Luxury condo tower underway - with $75M in sales

TAMPA — Construction teams broke have broken ground on the 24-story Virage luxury condominium tower on Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa.

The project, which will occupy the former Colonnade restaurant site — one of the last unclaimed parcels on Bayshore zoned for a high-rise building — has already generated some $75 million in sales, according to a news release.

“We are off to a remarkably fast start, especially as more people who live in single-family homes are now looking closely at the peace of mind and ease of luxury condominium living,” states Jay Tallman, principal of Ascentia Development Group, which is building Virage in partnership with Batson-Cook Development Company (BCDC), in the release.
