I really dig the design, but people on SSC are somehow skeptical it will get built.

Crane and Foundation Permits Filed for Ora Hotel and Residences in Tampa

Ora Hotel and Residences is moving closer to groundbreaking at 1101 East Jackson Street in downtown Tampa, as recent filings show crane and foundation permits progressing through review. The 39-story mixed-use tower is being developed by ARC Realty Group, Prosper Group, and Sunwest Construction, with design by Adache Group Architects.

The latest permit activity was first reported by Floridian Development. The filings include multiple crane applications submitted to the Federal Aviation Administration, along with foundation and utility permits that indicate continued progress toward the start of construction.

FAA filings include an application for a 250-foot crawling mobile crane intended for deep foundation work, with a proposed operational window from August 1 through July 2027. Two additional applications call for tower cranes rising 508 feet and 532 feet, with installation scheduled to begin March 1, 2027 and remain in place through late 2029, outlining the anticipated timeline for vertical construction.

Originally targeting a March 2026 groundbreaking, the timeline has shifted, with a summer start now anticipated pending final approvals. Recent permit activity and filings indicate that the project is entering the final stages of pre-construction ahead of site mobilization.
