The four-story building also features a crispy white exterior, historic façade, and green landscaping. Two fully restored apartment building are slated to open later this spring.

“This addition really elevates the streetscape of South Howard, which has become a focal point of Tampa’s booming culinary scene thanks to Bern’s Steak House, Haven, Epicurean Hotel and others,” said Joe Collier, President and Founder, Mainsail Lodging & Development. “The added accommodations will allow us to better meet market demand for our rooms, which has consistently outpaced our supply, particularly for high-demand suites.”

Newest accommodations include 31 standard king rooms, eight deluxe king rooms, three two-room suites, and one junior suite. Eight historical apartments opening in the spring were swapped into suites with separate dining and living areas plus kitchenette, king bed, and sleeper sofa. The apartments feature private balconies overlooking Howard Ave.
