Tampa Westshore District

The Westshore District covers about 10 square miles, bounded by Kennedy Boulevard to the south, Himes Avenue to the east, Hillsborough Avenue to the north and Old Tampa Bay, including Rocky Point, to the west. Office towers and hotels line Westshore Boulevard, and residential neighborhoods fill in around them.

• Townhomes. Townhome communities near International Plaza and Raymond James Stadium, such as Westshore Village on North Grady Avenue.
• Condos. Condo communities including Villa Sonoma near International Plaza and Island Club at Rocky Point on Old Tampa Bay.
• Single-family homes. Mid-century and newer homes in neighborhoods such as Westshore Palms and Carver City-Lincoln Gardens.

According to the Westshore Alliance, the district’s business association, Westshore is Tampa Bay’s largest employment center:

• Jobs: more than 6,500 businesses and about 105,000 employees, with more than 12 million square feet of office space.
• Residents: more than 15,000 people live in the district, and many of them work there too.
• Investment: more than 25 projects planned or underway, representing more than $1 billion in private investment, as the district shifts from an office hub to a walkable, mixed-use place to live, work and shop.
• What’s next: Midtown East, Westshore’s tallest office tower, was completed in 2025, and plans call for replacing WestShore Plaza with a 52-acre mixed-use district with offices, a medical center, shops, a hotel and about 1,700 residences.

Development plans and timelines change. We’ll keep this section updated.

Living in Westshore

• Live near work: Tampa Bay’s largest office district is at your door.
• Getting around: Tampa International Airport (TIA) sits inside the district, Interstate 275 runs through it, and the Courtney Campbell Causeway leads west to Clearwater. Downtown Tampa and South Tampa are a short drive. Travel times depend on your address and traffic.
• Schools: consult Hillsborough County Public Schools for current school information and address-specific assignments. Confirm zoning for each home rather than relying on its ZIP code.
