Construction has recently commenced on the inaugural project in what is anticipated to be a groundbreaking wave of redevelopment in Ybor City, initiated by the 50-acre GasWorx district. Known as Canvas GWX, this townhome community characterized by its “industrial chic” aesthetic represents the first significant construction undertaking to kickstart just beyond the confines of GasWorx.
Tampa Mayor Jane Castor was present at the ceremony, underlining the pioneering nature of this project and highlighting how GasWorx is already acting as a catalyst for increased investment in Ybor. This includes the development of more housing and businesses in nearby areas, all of this happening within a mere six months since the commencement of construction on GasWorx itself.
