50-acre Gasworx project outside downtown Tampa starts to take shape

Nearly two years after initial construction began on the Gasworx project in Tampa, the massive development is beginning to take shape with the first residential building — La Union, with about 300 units — nearing completion.

While it is only one of the hundreds — if not thousands — of moving pieces that will go into the remaking of the 50-acre property between Ybor City and downtown Tampa, the residences mark an important milestone for those who have worked on the project.

The developers — Darryl Shaw and Kettler — last week provided an update and shared plans on the first phase of the Gasworx project, which is currently underway.
