YIMBY recently covered the announcement of the official opening of Strategic Property Partners (SPP) Thousand & One, a 20-story Class-A commercial office tower located at 1001 Water Street within the 56-acre – $3.5 billion Water Street Tampa mega-development in Downtown Tampa. The building is designed by New York City’s COOKFOX Architects, and yields 375,000 square feet of office space and 12,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, being the first trophy office tower to rise in the city in nearly 30 years. Let’s take a closer look into the details in the architecture and exterior characteristics.
Recent photos of Thousand & One show a closer look at the distinguished cypress root patterns adorning the white smooth-edged hand-cast concrete panels. The corners of the structure feature subtle chamfering edges thanks to those panels.

The industrial grid layout of the building’s facade is made up of 2-story rectangular window forms, where the narrower rectangular shapes can be seen along the western and eastern elevations, whereas the wider windows span the southern and northern elevations.

Thousand & One’s interior lot is located across the street from the Tampa EDITION and the Heron Residences, bounded by the intersection between Water Street with Channelside Drive, and Raybon Court to the north. An outdoor social space, also known as a woonerf, is laid out in between it and the USF Health building at 560 Channelside Drive.
