Too much of a good thing?

Cleared site for the planned Heights of Tampa project.

News of the “Encore” project formerly Central Park Village getting a shot of federal money has me wondering.  Will groundbreaking on this $800 million dollar project between downtown and Ybor City compete with The Heights of Tampa project just over a mile away?

After all, too much simultaneous  development is what helped lead us into this real estate abyss in the first place.  Both projects are admirable- even necessary, but if the competition causes either project to languish for lack of tenants and residents, both could fail.

As in most things in life, timing…………………………………….   is everything.
