Venue Condo Tower Approved For Downtown Tampa

Condo Tower Approved For Downtown
Published: Oct 27, 2006


TAMPA - The developer of a proposed 50-story condominium tower on prime downtown land won zoning approval for the project Thursday from the city council.
Gibraltar Development Corp. hopes to break ground next year and see the building ready for occupancy in late 2009.
The site, located along the Hillsborough River, is now occupied by an office building.
The site is less than a half-acre but sits at a prime location at the southwest corner of Ashley Drive and Kennedy Boulevard.

Named Venu, the slender glass tower the council approved Thursday is to have 215 condo units.
Residences would range from 900 to 4,000 square feet and unit prices would run from $400,000-plus to more than $3 million.

Plans call for 3,200 square feet of ground-floor retail space and 10 floors of parking.
The site is a short distance from the site of the Trump Tower Tampa project. Construction on the 52-story Trump project, which also is being built along the Hillsborough River, has been delayed while the developer seeks financing and addresses a foundation issue.

Condos to be auctioned -Tampa, Fl

Condos to be auctioned in effort to move units: "Condos to be auctioned in effort to move units
STAFF REPORT

In another sign of a slow housing market, 100 condominium conversion units at the Hamptons at Tampa Palms will be sold in December in an auction -- 40 of them in an 'absolute auction.'

That means some of the units on Amberly Drive in the New Tampa area will go to the highest bidders with no minimum bid or reserve.

Condos selling 'absolute' will include 15 three-bedroom units, 20 two-bedroom units and five one-bedroom units.

Residential and real estate auctions have become the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. auction business.

In a real estate market that has been turned upside down, auction specialists are finding interest growing exponentially from would-be sellers desperate to move their product.

Bay Communities, the development firm converting the apartments, decided on an auction strategy to speed up sales, said Craig King, president of J.P. King Auction Co., the Alabama outfit managing the event.

'With the marketplace slowing down a bit, Bay Communities decided it was a good time to get more aggressive and sell a number of units in one day,' King said.

The developer, Bay Communities, started marketing in mid-2005, 'but as everybody knows, the market has slowed down quite a bit nationwide since then,' said Bay's Bill Harkins.

'In that environment, we felt an auction would help reduce the inventory.' "
