Onetime Lingerie Bowl site to get $45M apartment complex

TAMPA -- Work is set to begin on another apartment complex near downtown Tampa, as Havana Square gets ready to break ground on North Rome Avenue.

Pollack Shores Real Estate Group says it closed on land at 400 N. Rome Ave. to build a 274-unit apartment complex and adjoining parking garage. The project will be on 2.9 acres just west of the University of Tampa, and four blocks north of Kennedy Boulevard.

Atlanta-based Pollack Shores says it will spend $45 million, or $164,200 per unit, to build the complex.
