TAMPA — The Seasons
Apartments and Suites towers just south of the Hillsborough
County government center won approval for their 41- and
27-story heights on Thursday.
The Hillsborough
County Aviation Authority signed off Thursday on two
proposed apartment towers that would rise 41 and 27 stories
above downtown Tampa.
“We did not identify any impacts to any of our air space,”
said Tony Mantegna, the aviation authority’s height, zoning
and land use manager, or to Peter O. Knight Airport, which
is less than 2 miles from the towers.
Of the 487 apartments in the 41-story Seasons Apartments
tower, 80 percent will be “micro apartments” of 580 square
feet or less. The tower also will include a 379-car garage,
connected to the neighboring Seasons Suites by a pedestrian
bridge.
The towers, at 476 feet and 323 feet tall, have been
proposed near the intersection of E Whiting and N Morgan
streets by Tampa Downtown Invest LTD, a subsidiary of the
German real estate development company Dr. Schrobsdorff &
Dr. Herrmann, with design work by Jahn Architecture of
Chicago. No construction schedule has been announced.
