As the construction and development begins to once again increase in our area, it’s not unusual to see property owners try to make their land as appealing as possible to potential developers. Such is the case with a parcel of land along Highwoods Preserve Pkwy. in New Tampa.
According to documents filed with the City of Tampa, Raleigh, NC-based Highwoods Properties has requested a rezoning for a 14-acre parcel of land (see map below), located across Highwoods Preserve Pkwy. from the three-story office building called the Burns & Wilcox building, about half a mile north of Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd.
Currently zoned PD (planned development), Highwoods is requesting a rezoning that would allow for the development of office, residential, hotel, high-tech/light industrial, commercial. The developer is requesting that the parcel be zoned for 250,000 sq. ft., or the equivalent of 400 residential units.
“We have no immediate plans to do anything with the property,” says Highwoods spokesperson Tabitha Zane. “We’re keeping our options open and trying to increase the flexibility for the development of the property.”
A tentative public hearing date has been scheduled for Thursday, October 8.
