THE YBOR LOFTS
Tampa, Florida
As part of Tampa’s historic Ybor City district, the architectural vocabulary at the Ybor Lofts reinterprets nearby buildings and materials with a modern eye. Blond and red brick, stucco, wrought iron balconies, and distinctive street lighting are all represented in the design, successfully integrating the building within the neighborhood. Inside, the community features striking high-end finishes and modern conveniences expected from today’s luxury apartments.
Our density goal is achieved through creative problemsolving. A single building would have exceeded the allowable square footage, so the structure is split into two buildings separated by a two-hour fire wall, resulting in a valuable and lucrative property. By adding vitality to its surroundings, the Ybor Lofts shines as an example of modern urban luxury, with easy walkability to local restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
