Tampa synagogue, developer revamp plans for waterfront residential tower

About a year after a Tampa synagogue and a Miami developer failed for a second time to win approval to convert a parking lot and preschool into a condo development, the entities are back again with a pared down plan.

Congregation Rodeph Sholom and The Related Group have submitted an updated plan to Tampa City Council that cuts the number of floors in the proposed building down to 16 from 26 and the number of units down to 38 from 42.

The original plan called for a 29-story building with 60 units.
