Novare Group plans project for Channelside

[bobliocatt]

Atlanta developer Novare Group announced its first foray into Tampa late last year with its downtown residential project called SkyPoint.

Apparently, it likes this town.

The company known for building reasonably priced urban housing now plans to build a condominium tower in the Channel District.

Novare and a local developer, Intown Group, want to rezone land at 110 N 12th St. to make way for an 18-story, 475-unit tower on top of a seven-story garage. The City Council is scheduled to review the request July 21.

"Since the day we came into town and hooked up with our partners down in Tampa, Intown Group, we have been phenomenally excited about Tampa," said John Long, Novare's senior vice president.

The project would also include 10,000 square feet of retail and a half-acre park on 11th Street.

Oh, the NIMBYs are out in force on this one...

One nice feature is the proposed half-acre park. It's not often that a developer will make this type of commitment.

Let's bring some of the color green into the Channel District!
