Work it

When it debuts next month, Armature Works will combine a 700-seat event space with co-work offices, a 170-seat Southern-style steakhouse and a public market with more than a dozen different vendors.

In resurrecting the two-story, former Tampa Electric streetcar warehouse, developer SoHo Capital has blended old with new. Pine floors in the 10,000-square-foot event space, for instance, were repurposed from within the building, and the exposed brick dates back roughly a century.

In addition to the event space, the ground floor of the new Armature Works will feature an indoor/outdoor reception plaza; Steelbach, an open-kitchen restaurant; and the Heights Public Market, where 16 different vendors will ply their wares.
