TAMPA, FL – Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., announced it has broken ground on Modera Encore, a contemporary mixed-use apartment community in Downtown Tampa.
Modera Encore, which will feature 304 apartment homes and 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, boasts a dynamic metropolitan location amidst one of the nation’s most rapidly emerging downtown corridors. First move-ins are anticipated for spring 2025.
“We are fans of the Tampa market, and we believe Modera Encore is positioned to benefit from the city’s continued growth and ongoing development of the urban core,” said Damon Kolb, senior managing director of development in North Florida for Mill Creek Residential. “Transformational projects such as the Water Street, Gas Worx and the anticipated Brightline Station will continue to add convenience and vibrancy to the area, and we’re excited to be a part of it. We look forward to getting started on Modera Encore and offering a top-of-market experience.”
Situated at 1211 Ray Charles Boulevard, Modera Encore is located moments southwest of Interstate 275, which provides quick access to Tampa International Airport and the thriving employment sectors of Westshore Business District, the Gateway office market and Downtown St. Petersburg.
