As Tampa's Gasworx rises, here's what's in store for the development
Gasworx is the brainchild of Tampa businessman Darryl Shaw, a longtime champion of Ybor City who wants to elevate the historic district from a place known mainly for drinking and debauchery to a fully walkable neighborhood with all the amenities of a modern city. He's partnered with Washington, D.C.-based developer Kettler and more recently brought on PPF group out of Prague to bring that vision to life.
Once completed, the project will include 5,000 residences, 500,000 square feet of office space, and 150,000 square feet of retail.
Last month, the developers secured a $182 million construction loan from Bank of OZK to accelerate the first phase of the project.
As construction plows ahead, here's a rundown of what's happened so far, what's to come, and when it will all be completed.
In November, La Unión Residence & Social Hall, the neighborhood's first apartment building, opened, adding 317 residential units. Prices range from $1,780 to $3,581 a month, according to apartments.com.
La Union is now 46% leased and leasing has begun on retail space within the site, Kettler's Managing Director of Florida, Graham Tyrrell, wrote in an email.
Earlier this week, construction crews topped out on seven story mixed-use building that will include 390 residential units, retail space and 482 parking spots.
Those apartments will come online in January.
'Together with La Union, a new section of East 4th Avenue is now defined, and future residents and neighbors alike will enjoy direct, walkable access to Gasworx's retail, restaurants, and marketplace, along with new park space and a new TECO Streetcar stop,' Tyrell stated in a media release.
Infrastructure work to connect the street grid has already begun. Work on the park, trails and streetcar stop is still several months out.
Construction on what the developers are calling the 'E blocks,' will start in the coming weeks.
The first component is 5-story building with 140 residential units, mainly one-bedrooms and 18,000 square feet of retail space.
Next is the centerpiece of the entire development, a 28,000-square-foot warehouse that will be repurposed into a market with restaurants, retail and indoor and outdoor seating. A 100,000 square-foot office building connected to the warehouse is set to become the future headquarters of Grow Financial Federal Credit Union.
The final block will feature a 10-story residential building with 376 units and 29,000 square feet of retail space.
The E-bocks will be completed in late next year and into early 2027.

Trump revokes de minimis privilege for global e-commerce imports
Not content to wait two years for this month's congressional repeal of the de minimis exemption to take effect, President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order that ends the ability of low-value goods to enter the U.S. duty-free and with minimal customs processing on Aug. 29. Trump said suspending the trade privilege for individual parcel shipments was necessary to prevent people from using the system to evade tariffs systematically being imposed on all nations. The President earlier this year eliminated de minimis privileges for small-dollar items shipped from China and Hong Kong. The new policy will force importers to pay the full tariff amount for shipments valued at $800 or less and originating from all countries. The decision is a blow for e-commerce retailers, including mom-and-pop enterprises, that source goods from overseas and ship them directly to online buyers via cross-border parcel networks. International logistics providers and cargo airlines are also expected to lose business. The de minimis exemption, originally designed to reduce the administrative burden on U.S. Customs and Border Protection from collecting tiny amounts of tariffs on individual parcels, was exploited by Chinese online marketplaces and other e-tailers to enable cheap, direct-to-consumer fulfillment without the need of U.S. warehouses. CBP has said the explosion of de minimis shipments has outstripped its ability to check for potential trade violations and smuggling of illicit products. The agency processes about 4 million de minimis shipments per day. The One Big Beautiful Bill, a massive tax-and-spending package Trump signed into law at the beginning of the month, includes a provision that cancels the de minimis rule on July 1, 2027. In 30 days, importers will be required to file customs declarations and pay duties and taxes on all imported goods, regardless of value. In many cases, those importers will be individuals who may balk at the complexity of filling out forms or paying higher prices for goods, especially as the Trump administration continues its campaign to significantly increase tariffs on nearly all trading partners. Earlier this week, for example, the EU tentatively agreed to accept 15% tariffs on its exports to smooth relations with the Trump administration. The National Council of Textile Organizations applauded Trump's executive order. 'The de minimis mechanism has functioned as a black box for low-cost, subsidized, and unethical Chinese imports and undermined the competitiveness of the U.S. textile industry — a key contributor to the workforce and the U.S. economy,' NCTO President Kim Glas said in a statement. 'We thank the president and his administration for listening, acting, and standing with American manufacturers and workers. Today's executive order is a game changer. It restores fairness for U.S. manufacturers, closes a major gateway for illegal and toxic goods, and lays the groundwork for reinvestment and job creation here at home.' Trump invoked the rarely-used International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare that illegal smuggling of fentanyl from Canada, Mexico and China constituted a national emergency and justified revoking de minimis, even though little of the synthetic drug comes via Canada. He quickly suspended the decree until the Commerce Department determined CBP had systems in place to collect duties from so many small shipments. In early May, Trump reimposed tariffs on low-value shipments from China and Hong Kong. Since then Temu and Shein sales in the U.S. have fallen 50% by some estimates. The executive order says those systems are now in place to process parcels from Canada, Mexico and the rest of the world as formal customs entries. Trump said suspending de minimis writ large was necessary as a remedy for the U.S. trade deficit, which he characterized as a national emergency. In recent weeks, the Trump administration has secured agreements from the United Kingdom and Japan to impose 10% and 15% tariffs, respectively. Most countries are currently operating under a universal 10% tariff that is set to expire on Aug. 1. The U.S. has threatened to impose double-digit tariffs of varying degrees on other countries that haven't reached tariff agreements by that date. The executive order requires air carriers and other transportation providers to collect and remit duties to CBP for shipments moved through the international postal system since the U.S. Postal Service doesn't have the ability to process entries through CBP's automated system. U.S.-based logistics providers are expected to benefit from the new trade policy as retailers will need to ship inventory in bulk and store it in domestic warehouses for fulfillment.
