The Tampa Bay area skyline is shifting constantly. With all the building and development changes, it can be hard to keep up. Here are three of the latest projects to keep you in the loop:

  • Three buildings are in the works in Tampa near I-75 and I-4. The 44-acre lot off Tanner Road was recently bought for $14.5 million by a Mississippi-based real estate firm.
  • Construction has started at a historic cigar factory in West Tampa. The Balbin Brothers Cigar Factory at 1202 N. Howard Ave. is being turned into a 70-room hotel and will open in late 2024.
  • A Largo warehouse has sold for $29.6 million to a Colorado-based developer. Construction on the roughly 160,000-sqft building at 8660 133rd Ave. N. finished earlier this year.
