Tampa Bay-Lakeland

A Miami developer looking to build a residential tower on a piece of a land owned by a Tampa synagogue has revised its initial plan and will go before City Council Thursday to seek approval.

The developer is The Related Group, a Miami company with several projects active in the area. It is looking to build a 29-story tower on land that is occupied by the Congregation Rodeph Sholom synagogue’s preschool and parking lot.

The property is on Bayshore Boulevard, one of the highest-dollar addresses in the city. It is also on a portion of the boulevard that’s seen a number of residential towers begin construction in the past couple of years. Among those is The Ritz-Carlton Residences that Related is building about a half mile from the synagogue.
