Highwoods Properties has requested a rezoning for 14 acres of land (in pink) along Highwoods Preserve Pkwy.

As the construction and development begins to once again increase in our area, itโ€™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.

โ€œWe have no immediate plans to do anything with the property,โ€ says Highwoods spokesperson Tabitha Zane. โ€œWeโ€™re keeping our options open and trying to increase the flexibility for the development of the property.โ€

A tentative public hearing date has been scheduled for Thursday, October 8.
