The long awaited rebuilding of downtown Tampa is well underway. Bordering downtown, Ybor City, The Channel District and Tampa Heights and just north of
the intersection of Nebraska and Zack, one can see the reality of a new sector of our city…..It’s called Encore.
If the name Encore reminds you of a musical score, you’re right on. The first building under construction within the new development is named The Ella, a $28 million, 160 unit senior housing facility named in honor of the first lady of jazz, Ella Fitzgerald. Encore covers over 40 acres on a site that until early in this decade was an aging public housing complex. An initial effort to redevelop the area resulted in the existing buildings being leveled but the developer ultimately went bankrupt.
After laying dormant for several years, a creative partnership between the Tampa Housing Authority and Bank of America was formed and the project has come
back to life. Since the first shovel was put in the ground in the middle of 2009, the site has been cleared, streets laid out, underground utilities installed, streets paved and street lights installed. Construction of The Ella has recently reached its topping-off at 8 stories.
