FAA Permits Filed For 540-Ft-Tall Tower In Tampa

Permits have been submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) seeking approval for the construction of a 540-ft-tall building at 601 North Ashley Drive in Downtown Tampa, Florida YIMBY reports. The property comprises two parcels of land that make up an entire city block. TLR Tower LLC, an affiliate entity of Downtown Tampa-based real estate investment and management company TLR Group (TLR), is the owner of the property according to Hillsborough County property records. The property falls within Downtown Tampa’s CBD and is specifically zoned for multi-story office use. There are no publicly known details regarding what exactly will rise on the property, but the source speculates that it could potentially be an office tower of 38 stories, assuming the roof height tops out at 540 ft with an average of 14-ft ceiling heights. The northeast corner of the site is elevated approximately 18 ft above sea level, bringing the total cumulative height of the tower to a maximum of 558 ft. When complete, TLR Tower would occupy the title of the third tallest building in Tampa at 540-feet, taking the spot from the 537-ft-tall One Tampa City Center.
