WestShore Plaza: A New Chapter Begins
In October, WestShore Plaza, one of Tampa’s premier shopping destinations, reached a significant milestone by acquiring the Macy’s Inc. real estate for $10 million. This acquisition marked the completion of the plaza’s assemblage, granting its owner, WPG, full control of the property. WPG, an Ohio-based real estate investment trust, had already received city council approval in 2024 to rezone the property. The ambitious redevelopment plans include residential units, health care facilities, and office spaces.
While securing the Macy’s site was crucial, WPG’s progress depends on financing to bring these transformative plans to life. The project envisions replacing the enclosed mall with a dynamic mix of uses, positioning WestShore Plaza as a central hub for modern urban living.
