Construction Starts on ‘Gallery at Rome Yards’ Between Rome Avenue and the Hillsborough River in Tampa, FL

Ground has officially broken on Gallery at Rome Yards, a multi-phase residential project that’s part of the larger Rome Yards development in Tampa. The community’s first phase will measure 11 stories above grade and offer 234 one-bedroom to three-bedroom units.

According to the Tampa Bay Business Journal, 80 percent of the units will be reserved for residents earning at or below 80 percent of the area median income (AMI), while another 20 percent will be reserved as workforce housing. The U.S. Census reported that Tampa’s median household income was $66,802 as of 2022.

At full buildout, Gallery at Rome Yards will feature 954 units, along with 33,605 square feet of commercial space. Tampa.gov reports that the larger mixed-use venture will transform a vacant 18-acre parcel that currently serves as a maintenance yard for the City of Tampa.

The goal is to create a “resilient and sustainable hub that will revitalize the area with expansive neighborhood amenities.” Such amenities include an observation tower, community amphitheater, and green space.

While Rome Yards is expected to be fully completed in 2026, the first phase at Gallery of Rome Yards will likely be finished by then. It will be located south of Columbus Drive between Rome Avenue and the Hillsborough River in Tampa, FL.
