The residential portion of Pendry Hotels & Resorts’ planned downtown Tampa tower reaches sales milestone.

Tampa Bay-Lakeland

While work at the site of the Pendry Tampa and Pendry Residences has been going on since early in the year, construction will formally begin Wednesday when the developers hold a ceremonial groundbreaking.

That is the day officials from Pendry Hotels & Resorts and Miami-based Two Roads Development will show up at the Ashley Drive property along with Tampa Mayor Jane Castor to make a few speeches and toss shovelfuls of dirt while construction crews, bystanders and invited guests look on.

Ceremonial or not, the event will officially kick off the building process of what will be a 39-story ultra-luxury hotel and condominium complex on the Hillsborough River in the city’s downtown.
