Downtown Tampa is undergoing an awakening! Once a sleepy downtown serviced only
by a weekday workforce population of nearly 50,000 people, Tampa’s core is developing
into a true urban center filled with cultural venues, sports and entertainment activities.
Urban living has reached Tampa’s city center in recent years. From a residential
population of practically zero to recent estimates of 2,500 people, the area is becoming a
series of great neighborhoods. Downtown is also an educational center with 9,000
students in programs ranging from pre-K to law degrees. An incredible amount of zest
and excitement comes to the city streets with nearly $1 billion in recent or current
developments and enhancements. The PASSPORT to Downtown Tampa Tour is your opportunity to gain insight into these changes and see for yourself how the area is making
this transition. This tour book is your PASSPORT to aid you in describing to others how
downtown Tampa has changed and is becoming a diverse area full of a variety of
amenities and services.
