Downtown Tampa

The Downtown Tampa skyline is growing with high-rise office buildings like the Sykes building and luxurious condominiums like Skypoint. The streets below the skyline are where you will find the many great restaurants, shops, and bars that Tampa has to offer. Most of Tampa's nightlife, along with other areas of interest, is found outside the downtown area in places like Hyde Park and historic Ybor City. Also located in Downtown Tampa are the Tampa Convention Center and St Pete Times Forum, where everything from classy Tampa events to exciting games happens. The University of Tampa is located just across the waters of Curtis Hixon Park, where many large, popular annual events are held. The TECO Line Streetcar provides affordable transportation to Channelside, Ybor City, and downtown. Channelside is another popular neighborhood where there are popular restaurants, clubs, bars, shopping, and theaters all in the same development! Harbour Island and Davis Island border Downtown Tampa just South onto the Bay Waters and house everything from enormous homes to subtle apartments all while being surrounded by their small community with locally owned businesses, restaurants, and salons. 

Armature Works

A once-dilapidated warehouse that was a maintenance barn for TECO streetcars and trolleys more than a century ago, Armature Works is a fully restored mixed-use building that breathes new life into the historic Tampa Heights neighborhood. Located just north of downtown Tampa on the Hillsborough River, the 73,000-square foot commercial space has been reinvented as a premier community destination consisting of multiple event spaces, Heights Public Market, Bay 3 co-working space, M.Bird Rooftop Lounge and includes Steelbach and Oak & Ola, two signature restaurants that anchor the building. The building’s extensive renovation project focused on keeping the historical feel of this Tampa landmark. Today, you will see original features such as exposed brick walls, skylights, original windows, and hardwood floors in addition to modern amenities such as state-of-the-art lighting and A/V packages.
