Preparing to Launch

Three years after initially unveiling plans for Tampa's first downtown office tower in a quarter century and its first mixed-use high-rise, developer Feldman Equities is revealing new details about its planned 52-story skyscraper.

The developer and partner Tower Realty Partners, of Orlando, hope to break ground on Riverwalk Place by the end of this year and have portions of the building occupied and its “skin” on in February 2021 — to take advantage of national television coverage of Tampa's next hosting of the NFL Super Bowl.

“We're planning not just to build a building but develop a destination for downtown,” Feldman told the Florida Gulf Coast Association of Realtors at a Jan. 18 luncheon. “We expect that what we're building will be competitive not just with downtown but also with Miami and New York and London. It will be the first of its kind here.”
