A neighborhood is shaped one building at a time. At Water Street Tampa, the next chapter builds on a place we’ve helped define from the very beginning.

Nichols Architects is proud to announce its involvement in the second phase of Water Street Tampa, one of the country’s most ambitious mixed-use developments. After serving as Architect of Record for three hospitality projects within the district, the firm now brings its experience to a new residential tower that will further expand this transformative neighborhood. Developed by Strategic Property Partners, the 33-story mixed-use building will introduce 452 apartments above 37,000 square feet of retail, creating an active urban destination at the corner of Water Street and Cumberland Avenue.

The project reflects the continued evolution of Water Street Tampa as a vibrant, walkable community where hospitality, residential, retail, and public space come together. Working alongside Gensler, MAWD | March and White Design, OJB Landscape Architecture, Kimley-Horn, Moss Construction, and Barton Malow, Nichols Architects continues its longstanding role in delivering complex mixed-use developments throughout Florida, helping bring visionary designs from concept to construction.
