Gasworx - the vision, the reality
A brownfield 50-acre Channelside site where Tampa meets its satellite community of Ybor City, the initial Gasworx project proposed a new stadium for the Tampa Bay Rays MLB team. It is now going to be a mixed-use development, with apartments, restaurants and retail outlets - in fact, the usual stuff that developers promote these days. Only a marina is missing, the cherry on top of many a Sunshine State proposal. Darryl Shaw is the main promoter, being quoted in the Tampa Bay Times as “wanting to transform historic Ybor City from a place known primarily for drinking and debauchery to a fully walkable neighbourhood with all the amenities of a modern city.”
Gasworx construction is due for completion in late 2026. I hope Ybor City carries on with its drinking and debauchery.
