Altman Companies Celebrates Topping-Off Of Altís Grand Central

TAMPA, FL -- The Altman Companies, a rental properties developer, celebrated the topping-off of Altís Grand Central, a pedestrian-friendly residential development under construction in Hyde Park.

More than 300 construction workers, city officials, building and transportation inspectors and Altman Companies executives attended the topping-off ceremony on Oct. 26. During the event, a celebratory evergreen tree was hoisted up to the highest point of the apartment tower and a massive 15-foot-long American Flag was suspended from the top of the four-story parking garage.

Scheduled to be completed in late summer, the nine-story towers, located at 504 W. Grand Central Ave., are situated just south of the entrance of University of Tampa and north of Tampa General Hospital in an area that has become home to a collection of sophisticated dining, shopping and entertainment venues.

“We’re very excited to reach this construction milestone with Altís Grand Central,” said Joel Altman, chairman of The Altman Companies “Residents of Altís Grand Central will be part of the Grand Central District, the most unique and vibrant neighborhood in Tampa. They will be a part of Tampa’s cosmopolitan experiences just steps from work or a brief walk or bus-ride to downtown at two of the city’s finest institutions.”

Residents of the 314 apartment homes will experience panoramic views of downtown and Tampa Bay from the apartment tower’s rooftop sky lounge and pool. When relaxing, residents will enjoy amenities including a luxe sun deck, his-and-her spa, a Zen garden, fire pit, a barbecue area, a high-tech dog park and a dog spa for pet owners.

The clubroom will be equipped with a gaming area with a pinball machine, PlayStation units, a movie theater, a pool table and a chic bowling lounge. In keeping with Grand Central District’s walkable environment, the towers will have shopping and dining on the ground floor.

The Altman Companies are offering studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartment homes with floor plans that range from 619 to 1,380-square-feet and secured parking with car charging stations on every level.

Most of the apartment homes will be equipped with balconies. Residences on the ground floor will enjoy a fenced, gated backyard.
