Balfour Beatty is expanding its leading construction operations into the Tampa Bay area offering specialized and expert services to deliver premier projects along Florida’s Gulf Coast. As part of the company’s Buildings team in Florida, the Tampa Bay office supports Balfour Beatty’s business development strategy of growing its national footprint within key market sectors including multifamily and mixed-use, hospitality and attractions, aviation, civic and municipal, and higher education.

Balfour Beatty’s Tampa Bay team is currently working to deliver Manor West River Apartments for the company’s repeat-client Related Group. Located in the West River district, the 360-unit, eight-story market-rate apartment complex features traditional, southern-style architecture, and rooftop deck overlooking the Hillsborough River.

Preconstruction services are also underway for a 600-bed student housing project located in Hyde Park, which will support the University of Tampa. Construction activities are slated for Q2 2024. Additionally, Balfour Beatty has recently completed Adventure Island’s all-new interactive splash and play zone, Shaka-Laka Shores, bringing its long history of themed attraction experience to Tampa. The attraction features 25 play elements, central kid-friendly play structure for entertainment, shaded sections, and a variety of interactive aquatic components for smaller children.
