Tampa General plans to build hospital, clinic on 16 acres in Ybor City

Tampa General Hospital plans to build a hospital, clinic and medical office building on about 16 acres in east Ybor City.

The hospital has agreed to buy 10 acres and has an option for another 6.45 acres. Details of the project aren’t available yet, but local developer Darryl Shaw disclosed the hospital’s intentions Thursday evening at a Tampa City Council meeting.

Shaw used the opportunity during the meeting to disclose discussions between his development company and Tampa General to buy the site, which is west of Lee Roy Selmon Expressway Connector between East Adamo Drive and East 4th Avenue.
