City of Tampa breaks ground on $69M affordable housing in East Tampa

Construction is underway on a new affordable housing community in East Tampa — another step toward addressing affordable housing demand in the city.

Tampa Mayor Jane Castor, city officials and representatives from the Tampa Housing Authority and Related Urban Group, the affordable housing division of housing developer Related Group, were on hand Wednesday for a groundbreaking ceremony for Residences at East End, at 5709 N. 47th St. The project is a $68.6 million public-private partnership. 

The new community will feature a clubhouse and five, three-story “garden-style buildings” providing 174 multifamily units. The Residences also include a fitness center, dog park, “pocket park” and picnic areas.
