The Federal Aviation Administration has granted approvals for Altura Bayshore, a 22-story condominium tower underway at 2910 West Barcelona Street in Bayshore Gardens, Tampa. Designed by Curts Gaines Hall Jones Architects and developed by Tampa-based The Ronto Group, the superstructure is approved to rise 271-feet, or 285-feet above sea level. The property is generally located South Ysabella Street to the east and the Selmon Expressway on the west, positioned just a block away from Bayshore Boulevard and Hillsborough Bay. Naples-based Connor & Gaskins Unlimited is the general contractor; Smith & Associates Real Estate is handling sales and marketing.
The approval for the height was granted on December 20, 2021 and has been considered to be non-obstructive to the airspace and not a hazard to any aircraft operations in the area. According to the approval, the tallest point of the building will be at the center, which is likely where the bulkhead and concrete core will top out.
“This aeronautical study revealed that the structure would have no substantial adverse effect on the safe and efficient utilization of the navigable airspace by aircraft or on the operation of air navigation facilities.”
