Just recently, YIMBY covered the unveiling of One Tampa, a 54-story mixed-use skyscraper proposed to become the city’s tallest building by Kolter Urban (Kolter) for 507 North Ashley Drive in Downtown Tampa. Design District Review (DDR) permits have officially been filed with Tampa’s planning and permitting department, revealing specific details of the project that were unknown to us in the previous article. The project includes the construction of 311-unit condominium/multi-family units with an associated leasing office/lounge, amenities, and a 4,850-square-foot-restaurant or retail space. One Tampa would rise roughly 633-feet, swiftly surpassing the current tallest building, the 42-story, 579-foot-tall 100 North Tampa.
We now know that the development is projected to yield 1,272,669 square feet of space in total, which would make it one of the largest buildings if not the largest in reference to total floor area. Adache Group Architects is listed as the firm behind the design. Material boards are included in the filing, revealing the structure would feature exterior walls finished in white, medium grey and dark grey smooth stucco, and grey-tinted glass with aluminum mullions on the windows. Glass balconies are arranged in a staggered form that texturizes the elevations, which helps break down the massing of the superstructure.

South & East Elevation.
At the podium, the ground floor and mezzanine levels would be enclosed in a storefront glass system, and the parking garage would be screened off from the public with vertically louvered metal screens, prefabricated wood-like aluminum screens and perforated metal screens.
Enlarged Podium Elevation.
The development site encompasses four parcels of land, which include 507 North Ashley Drive, 517 and 520 North Tampa Street, and 100 East Madison Street, equating to 27,554 square feet of total site area. 517 and 520 North Ashley Drive are currently improved with two buildings, the 3-story Dohring Building and an architecturally significant 5-story structure. There will likely be push back for the removal of these historic buildings.

The building is designed in a modern contemporary fashion commonly seen in cities like Miami or Fort Lauderdale. The curvilinear superstructure sports a series of horizontal lines formed by concrete slab edges that smoothly wrap around the elevations. The design is diversified a bit at the podium levels thanks to a variety of materials and alternating patterns. There are no significant crown features aside from a simplistic white parapet wall.
