We are deeply committed to working hand-in-hand with the community to create a project that not only delivers best-in-class amenities, but also enhances the charm and character of Hyde Park. Every detail of the design has been carefully considered to reflect the neighborhood’s historic architecture, step down gracefully toward nearby homes, and create pedestrian-friendly streetscapes. Through thoughtful materials, landscaping, and scaled façades, the project blends seamlessly into its surroundings—adding vibrancy while preserving the timeless appeal that makes this neighborhood so special.
Magnolia Hotel honors the legacy of Hyde Park by preserving and adaptively reusing the historic 2,061 sq. ft. office building on-site. This structure—already in active commercial use—will remain in its current location and serve as a visible, meaningful link between the neighborhood’s past and its thoughtfully planned future.
Located at the edge of the Hyde Park Historic District and surrounded by existing offices, apartments, and major roads, Magnolia Hotel transforms a highly paved, underutilized site into a walkable, thoughtfully scaled project that bridges the energy of Bayshore with the charm of the neighborhood. The plan encourages smarter land use in a growing city.
The current site lacks any underground stormwater system. Magnolia Hotel will introduce large, underground vaults designed to capture, treat, and slowly release runoff—reducing street flooding and improving drainage conditions beyond pre-development levels.
Magnolia Hotel is designed to reduce traffic impact by replacing surface parking with internal structured parking and limiting site access. Hotel guests are required to valet, and traffic will be directed to avoid neighborhood cut-throughs. Compared to what’s currently allowed, the hotel will generate fewer daily trips than a by-right office development.
Magnolia Hotel’s zoning request aligns with nearby developments like the Epicurean and Bank of Tampa. The site's existing zoning could allow up to 71 permanent residences or 53,000+ sq. ft. of commercial use. Instead, the proposal limits permanent residents to 29, helping reduce population density in a flood zone.
Magnolia Hotel incorporates a “stepping down” design to ensure compatibility with adjacent homes. The building transitions from 7 stories near Bayshore and the Bank of Tampa to 2–3 stories at its residential edges—meeting or exceeding required setbacks. The preserved historic structure and two-story townhomes provide further scale-sensitive buffers.
The project combines hotel, residential, and restaurant uses to create a lively, people-focused space. The open-air courtyard and restaurant are designed to be welcoming and quiet—operating within regulated hours and sound limits to respect neighbors.
With only 29 permanent residences proposed—far fewer than the 71 that could be requested under current zoning—the project supports safer evacuation planning in FEMA Zone A. The hotel’s transient population is less likely to remain during storms and will be subject to emergency closure policies.
The project enhances the pedestrian experience with wider sidewalks, activated frontages, and setbacks that exceed requirements in many areas. It preserves existing trees where feasible and introduces new landscaping that exceeds City minimums.
The current site includes aging office buildings, large surface lots, and excess curb cuts. Magnolia Hotel replaces this patchwork with a unified, architecturally appropriate design that better utilizes space and enhances the visual appeal of a key gateway to Hyde Park.
