Tampa City Council Grants Preliminary Approval to Gas Worx

The Tampa City Council unanimously granted preliminary approval to Gas Worx, the mixed-use development that would revitalize the area between Tampa’s Channel District and Ybor City.  The project moves another step forward.  The first phase, which includes 20,000 square feet of commercial space and 724 multi-family units on 7.9 acres of land south of Lily White Court and west of Nuccio Parkway was approved in January.  The approval on Thursday covered 5.2 million square feet on 26 acres.  Gas Worx is up for final approval on August 25.

Gas Worx is a proposed master planned development that would add as many as 5,000 homes, 500,000 square feet of office space and 150,000 square feet of retail space.  The Gas Worx project would connect Tampa’s historic Ybor City with the Channel District and the Water Street development.  Spread out over 50 acres, the development plans also include the redevelopment of a 70,000 square foot warehouse.  The project will be rolled out in stages and includes the demolition of the vacant Tampa Park apartment complex.
