TAMPA — Gritty industrial activity could give way to more condos, apartments and townhomes as yet another prime waterfront tract in Tampa hits the market.
Tampa-based Viper Ventures is selling Rattlesnake Point, nearly 31 acres on a peninsula that lies south of Gandy Boulevard and close to the Westshore Marina District master planned community.
With unobstructed views of Old Tampa Bay, the property most likely would be redeveloped for multi-family housing with space for a restaurant, shops and a hotel.
“Hopefully, a developer also will incorporate some sort of esplanade area that the general public can walk along because we have over a half mile of waterfront,” said Trey Carswell of Avison Young, the real estate firm that began marketing the site Monday for an undisclosed price.
