US-based real estate investment firm Loci Capital and US-based real estate development firm Maifly Development have broken ground on a mixed-use tower in Tampa Heights, Florida, US.
The 321-apartment unit community will feature one, two and three-bedroom floor plans, ranging from 512ft² to 1,393ft².
The project is anticipated to finish in around two years. Based on the negotiations with the city, the community will have 32 income-qualifying apartments for those making not more than 80% of the area’s median income.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor said: “Tampa’s housing inventory is extremely limited, and our affordable housing options are even more so.
“For this reason, we strive to create important public-private partnerships to address this housing crisis together. As part of the sales agreement for the two city-owned lots we sold to Loci Capital, we secured 32 units for income-eligible families with a 30-year affordability period. These opportunities are critical to advance our goals and uplift our communities.”
Loci co-founder and partner Patton Chillura said: “We are excited to bring Tampa residents new housing that continues to connect so many vital neighbourhoods.
