Derek Jeter – MLB Legend

From the super tall tower dubbed Eleve 61 to the ultra-luxe condos at The Sanctuary, here's a closer look at some of Tampa's high-profile condo projects coming through the pipeline. 

Riverwalk Place

A new, 21-story condo tower along Bayshore Boulevard is reportedly moving forward, according to a new report out from the Tampa Bay Business Journal. 

Called Hyde Park House, West Palm Beach-based Kolter Group has already acquired the 1.2 acre site, which is between Howard and DeSoto avenues, and is planning for a 70-unit project even though current zoning allows for up to 90 units.

Called Elevé 61, each new condo residence here will present a luxury living experience unlike anything Tampa’s growing Downtown-Channelside District has seen to date. When finished, the building will rise 35 stories high and be the second-tallest residential building in all of Tampa. 

Despite its size, however, Elevé 61 will feature just 61 units, which will include three bedrooms, no shared walls between units on each floor, floor-to-ceiling glass with huge views of the city, and of course lavish finishes and features throughout.
