MW Builders celebrates Tampa Heights Apartments Topping Out

Highly anticipated seven-story, multifamily, mixed-use complex coming soon

TAMPA, Fla. (July 9, 2024) – MW Builders, a nationally-respected and relationship-driven commercial construction company, along with Maifly Development and Loci Capital, recently celebrated the topping out of Tampa Heights Apartments, a 321-unit multifamily, mixed-use complex in the heart of Tampa Heights. The milestone marks the completion of the community’s structural work.

          “The location of Tampa Heights, its cutting-edge design, and its commitment to affordable housing make it poised to attract residents and drive economic growth in the surrounding area,” said Robert Durbin, Partner, Maifly Development. “We are looking forward to delivering a new residential option in Tampa’s urban core.”

The new development project is designed by Humphreys & Partners Architects with engineering services provided by TRC Companies.

          “It is exciting to see the progress being made on Tampa Heights and we are proud to be a part of this highly anticipated new development,” said MW Builders Division Manager Isaac Byers. “Tampa Heights will be a special place and it will enhance the surrounding Tampa community. We look forward to celebrating the completion of Tampa Heights at the grand opening event.”

          The development is located on a 2.45-acre site at the northeast corner of North Florida Avenue and East 7th Avenue, Tampa Heights will offer one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 512 square feet to 1,393 square feet within a six-story structure and with a seven-story pre-cast parking garage. The community will include 32 income-qualifying units for residents earning no more than 80 percent of the area’s median income.

Residential unit amenities will include smart home technology, modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and wood cabinets, European-inspired bathrooms, ceiling fans in the living room and bedrooms, large walk-in closets, full-size washer and dryers, and downtown and water views.

Community amenities will include multiple outdoor lounging and park areas, a resort-style rooftop pool with cabanas, firepits and grilling stations, a full-service fitness center, a coffee bar, meeting rooms, bike storage, and a dog park. There will also be 13,000 square feet of retail space. Completion of Tampa Heights is anticipated in Spring 2025.
