In Tampa’s Channel District, construction cranes swing across the sky. Below, workers in hard hats mill about at the spot off Meridian Avenue and Madison Street where construction on the Channel Club building has reached the halfway point.
When it is completed in 2018, the 21-story Channel Club will have 323 apartments and an adjacent Publix, the first full-service grocery store in the Channel District.
A neighboring piece of land will be the future site of Madison Street Park, a much welcomed greenspace in this growing neighborhood where residents from Millennials to Baby Boomers have come for an urban, walking lifestyle in close proximity to downtown.
