Gasworx’s developer, a joint venture between KETTLER and Darryl Shaw, is pleased to announce a major milestone in developing its Phase II project, set to redefine the landscape of southwest Ybor City. The visionary redevelopment project will soon welcome Grow Financial Federal Credit Union as the first tenant, leasing a substantial 50,000 square feet of prime office space for its new headquarters.
In a groundbreaking ceremony yesterday, the transformation of Ybor City took its first step as construction commenced on Canvas GWX, a community of townhomes with an “industrial chic” aesthetic. This residential project, located at 1218 East Kay Street – just outside the 50-acre GasWorx district, is poised to kickstart a wave of redevelopment in the heart of Tampa.
On March 6, dozens of community leaders and elected officials gathered to commemorate the official groundbreaking of Gas Worx, a 50-acre mixed-use development in Ybor City, Tampa. Gas Worx, a joint venture between KETTLER and its founder and CEO, Darryl Shaw, is between the Ybor Historic District and Channel District. Designed by Design Collective with Bohler as the structural engineer and Sasaki as the urban planner, the development will include nearly 5,000 new residences, over 500,000 square feet of office space, and more than 140,000 square feet of new retail. Moreover, Gas Worx boasts more than 300 units of affordable housing – the biggest private investment in affordable housing in the city’s history.
The excitement is building in Ybor City, Tampa, as preparations are underway for the official groundbreaking of the highly anticipated Gas Worx mixed-use development. This 50-acre joint venture between Darryl Shaw and D.C.-based KETTLER will break ground on March 6th. It will be attended by several distinguished speakers, including Tampa Mayor Jane Castor and the founder and CEO of KETTLER, Bob Kettler. The project’s design is in the hands of Design Collective as the architect, with Bohler serving as the engineer. Sasaki is handling the urban planning and design aspect of the project.
