Tampa Bay: What’s Coming · Under construction
Gasworx
A six-million-square-foot district designed to turn former industrial and underused land into a walkable connection across Tampa’s historic and modern urban core.
What Gasworx is
A new urban connection, not simply one Ybor project.
Gasworx is a major mixed-use development on former industrial and underused land bounded by Central Park, Ybor City, the Channel District and Downtown Tampa. Its broader role is geographic: creating a more continuous, walkable link between historic Ybor, the Channel District and Downtown’s employment and waterfront destinations.
The official vision combines housing, offices, shops, restaurants, public space and mobility improvements. Development is happening in phases, so the experience on the ground will continue to evolve.

Where it is
Between Tampa’s historic and modern core.
Gasworx occupies the transition zone south and west of historic Ybor, near Channelside Drive and the TECO Line. That position—not a single neighborhood label—is the key to understanding the project.
Current project status
Completed, building now, and still planned.
This status snapshot uses City of Tampa reporting, official KETTLER updates and current reputable local reporting. Dates are estimates only where the source provides them.
The Stevedore
The 390-home residential community welcomed its first residents on April 1, 2026; its ground floor includes approximately 9,700 square feet of retail space.
Olivette
A 10-story, 376-home building with more than 29,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. It topped out in April 2026 and is expected to complete in 2027.
The Luisa
A five-story building with 140 residences and about 18,000 square feet of ground-floor retail. It topped out in March 2026 and is tracking toward spring 2027 completion.
Office building
A six-story Class A office building anchored by Grow Financial. Interior work was underway in spring 2026, with completion scheduled for later in 2026.
Marketplace, park and paseo
A historic 28,000-square-foot warehouse is being adapted into a food-and-retail marketplace beside a new one-acre park. The pedestrian-focused 3rd Avenue Paseo will link the marketplace and Olivette.
Full district buildout
The master plan calls for approximately 5,000 residences, more than 500,000 square feet of office space and roughly 150,000 square feet of retail across a 50-acre, six-million-square-foot district. Later phases remain subject to approvals, financing and market conditions.
Live Nation music venue
A proposed 4,300-capacity venue on North 15th Street was announced in April 2026 with a target opening in late 2028. It is not yet an operating venue, and the schedule may change.
New streetcar stop
The district plan includes a future TECO Line stop along Channelside Drive. The existing streetcar already links Downtown, the Channel District and historic Ybor; future stop and system work should be treated as planned until delivered.
What the plan includes
Homes + work
Up to approximately 5,000 planned residences and more than 500,000 square feet of office space would add both full-time residents and daytime employment to the district.
Retail + restaurants
Roughly 150,000 square feet of planned retail includes ground-floor storefronts and a marketplace intended for dining, shops and market-style vendors.
Parks + public life
A one-acre city park, tree-lined promenades, picnic space, a cooling water feature and the pedestrian-focused paseo are designed to make the district usable beyond individual buildings.
Walking + transit
Walkable streets, multi-use trails and a planned new TECO Line stop are intended to strengthen connections. The existing 2.7-mile streetcar already runs between Downtown, Channelside and historic Ybor.
Why Gasworx matters
It is trying to close a gap in Tampa’s urban fabric.
For years, industrial and underused land separated some of Tampa’s most active urban districts. Gasworx is intended to make that seam feel less like a gap by adding residents, jobs, storefronts, entertainment, public space and safer pedestrian routes between Ybor City, the Channel District and Downtown. The outcome will unfold over years, but the location gives the project significance well beyond its property lines.
Dante’s local take
“If you’re relocating to Tampa and comparing the urban core, Gasworx belongs on your radar—not because every announced piece is guaranteed, but because it helps explain where new housing, dining, work and pedestrian activity are concentrating. I’d still choose your neighborhood for how it lives today, then treat Gasworx as important future context.”
