Thanks to a new central cooling facilitythat will break ground in fall 2017, the individual buildings in the neighborhood will benefit from efficient and reliable district-wide cooling.The centralized cooling will free up the rooftops of the new buildings, where individual cooling towers would typically be located, allowing for lushly landscaped rooftop amenity terraces with panoramic views of Downtown Tampa and Hillsborough Bay.
