What's going up in Tampa: Penthouses, waterfront townhomes, vision center

🤩 Pendry Residences Tampa announced that construction is underway on its $45.5 million penthouse, which will sit on the top floors of the 38-story hotel and feature 200 luxury condos.

• Half of the residences have already been sold.

🏢 Crews are past the midpoint of ONE Tampa's planned height, according to Florida YIMBY. The 42-story residential tower is rising on Ashley Drive in Downtown Tampa and is on pace to be completed next year.

• These luxury condos will feature floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces. But don't pack your bags just yet: Prices are over $1 million.

🏘️ Dozens of waterfront townhouses could be bound for West Tampa. Developers asked the city last week to rezone about four acres on N. Rome Ave. to make room for the residences, per the Tampa Bay Business Journal.

• The community would, if completed, feature three single-family homes and 37 townhouses.

👁️ Lions World Vision Institute, which wants to build a 30,000-square-foot vision center in Ybor City, secured $16 million in financing last week.

• The building is expected to open in March 2027 and offer pediatric vision care, including screening, diagnostics and community programming.
