This is the Metropolitan, already under construction slated to open in August 2024. Directly across the street from the University Mall. Will add housing for 760 students just half a mile from campus.

Posting these to show a lot of progress is already underway with this project. The area between the interstate and campus really could look entirely different by the time that on campus stadium opens.

Heck yea. This development looks great. Hopefully USF expands and integrates the Bull Runner to these communities.

Hillsborough again seeks to redevelop MOSI property

---

A prior effort to put a mixed-use project on the site stalled in 2020.

Hillsborough County-owned land surrounding the Museum of Science and Industry on Fowler Avenue could someday be home to mixed-use development including housing, an entertainment venue, hotel, movie studio and technology and life-science businesses with high-wage jobs.

That is the hope of the Hillsborough Commission, which on Wednesday took the first step to again seek a private company to redevelop the 74-acre site, home to the science museum known commonly by the acronym MOSI.

Quote

The project would be part of a larger and sustainable high-tech district covering 19 square miles between Interstates 275 and 75 and from Bearss Avenue to Busch Boulevard.

The commission unanimously approved his motion directing county staff to develop a timeline and recommend what could be included in the redevelopment.

This was over 2 months ago now, wonder when we'll hear about the timeline.

It will be interesting and see the development along Fowler that results from the stadium construction.

Neighborhoods on the east side of campus are going to be able to rake in parking cash like the folks living east of RayJay.
