TAMPA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Suffolk, one of the largest and most innovative construction enterprises in the country, announced it is partnering with developer Darryl Shaw and KETTLER on the construction of Gasworx, a vibrant mixed-use development in Tampa’s Ybor City that will build on Ybor’s rich history to create a new urban neighborhood at the crossroads of culture, tradition and community. The district, which will include up to 5,000 modern residences, 500,000-square-feet of cutting-edge office space and 140,000-square-feet of carefully curated retail space, promises to deliver sophisticated living and working spaces for Ybor City visitors and residents alike.
