TAMPA — A Miami luxury apartment developer has taken a step toward trying to build what city officials believe will be a riverfront residential complex on what is now the headquarters of the Tampa Tribune.
The Related Group filed a request with the city of Tampa on Wednesday asking whether removing the Tribune building site from a larger rezoning from 1999 would be a substantial change to the property’s approved development plan.
Related’s request does not indicate what it would seek to build on the 200 block of S Parker Street, south of W Kennedy Boulevard, along the western bank of the Hillsborough River. Related vice president and development manager Arturo Peña said an agreement in place includes confidentiality provisions, so “we cannot speak on it at this time.”
