The parcels included in the request are mainly zoned for industrial uses and are located between Adamo Drive and 6th Avenue, between the Selmon Expressway connector and North 26th Street.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is another meaningful step forward in bringing our long-term vision for Ybor City to life,\u201d Shaw, chief executive officer of Casa Ybor, says in the release. \u201cWe are continuing to build momentum behind a plan that honors Ybor\u2019s history while creating new opportunities through jobs, housing, and access to world-class health care.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shaw and Tampa General Hospital first introduced their plans for the location to Tampa City Council in October<\/a>. TGH agreed to buy 10 acres inside the Casa Ybor location, with an option for another 6.45 acres, to build a hospital with primary and urgent care services, a clinic and a medical office building in the heart of the development.\u00a0<\/p>\n Details on the project, like a sale price, timeline and the number of beds in the new hospital, weren\u2019t disclosed.\u00a0<\/p>\n The new TGH campus will be surrounded by \u201ccomplementary mixed-use elements,\u201d the release says, including ground-floor retail, hospitality and residential developments. Expanding the hospital\u2019s footprint into east Ybor City will make quality healthcare more accessible to those living in the many new developments planned for the area, TGH leadership says.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cExpanding into East Ybor City allows us to bring high-quality, academic health care closer to the communities and workforce helping drive Tampa\u2019s growth,\u201d John Couris, president and CEO of Tampa General Hospital, says in the release. \u201cAs this area continues to evolve, we see an opportunity to deliver integrated care that supports families, advances research, and helps strengthen Tampa\u2019s position as a leading medical and innovation hub. This is another meaningful step forward in building a connected, inclusive health care ecosystem that serves the entire region.\u201d<\/p>\n A street-view rendering of Darryl Shaw’s Casa Ybor development.<\/p>\n Courtesy image<\/p>\n Hospital leadership say the new campus will be in the heart of what it calls the Tampa Medical and Research District, which encompasses thousands of acres from Ybor City to downtown to South Tampa. The region is a \u201crobust health care and life sciences ecosystem where leading academic and research health systems, nationally recognized universities, biotechnology companies and a dynamic network of startups, entrepreneurs and investors intersect, accelerating the revolution of health care,\u201d the release says. The district is anchored by both TGH and USF Health\u2019s downtown facility and aims to attract more companies in health care, life sciences, artificial intelligence, defense and technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n Casa Ybor\u2019s plans also call for recreating segments of Ybor City\u2019s historic urban street grid, strengthening connectivity between East Ybor and the neighborhood\u2019s historic core. Designs for the region also include \u201cpocket-scale parks\u201d and open spaces to support walkability, transit corridors and major employment centers.\u00a0<\/p>\n The broader Tampa Medical and Research District and Tampa General\u2019s planned expansion into Casa Ybor all align with Shaw\u2019s vision to reposition Ybor City as a \u201cpremier destination,\u201d all while preserving its historical and cultural authenticity, the release says. That effort is already underway as Shaw\u2019s sprawling, 50-acre GasWorx district continues to develop,<\/a> reconnecting Historic Ybor City with downtown Tampa, the Channel District and the newly-developed Water Street with added office space, housing, infrastructure and multi-used trails.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Developer Darryl Shaw took another step forward this week with plans to build a mixed-use district, anchored by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145246,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[135,137,136],"class_list":["post-145245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tampa","tag-tampa","tag-tampa-headlines","tag-tampa-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145245"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145245\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"A](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Casa-Ybor-EY-Street-_View_t850.jpg\" "\\"A")
