Ranked 9th in fastest-growing cities, Tampa is bound to have several projects in the works at a time. Just in case you missed one, here’s a review of some of the larger, or more unique projects coming to the Tampa area in the next few years.

The Chicago-based developer is planning to create 83 units. Each will optimize the small space by using space multiplication technology. They say to think high-tech Murphy Beds and multi-use spaces. These affordable units, on the fringe of downtown, will offer an economical solution for residence seekers. NICHE will also offer more standard-sized apartments, ranging from studios to 3-bedroom units.
