Freshmen from the surrounding counties are exempt, like Hillsborough, Pinellas & Pasco counties. Illegal? Kind of drama queenish. If you do not like the rules, then you can always go to anoth

Not sure if you're just messing around now or not, but...

They're where old Fontana hall used to be on the corner of Fletcher and 42nd. And there's a picture of them in the thread because they're the topic of the thread.

Got it. I misread the caption on the images, thinking it was condos for sale, rather than apartmets for rent.

 

Agree - it needs retail on the 1st floor. Can't believe they wouldn't do that.

Yeah, it would have been such a prime location for something like a sandwich shop, burrito place, etc. It would have been able to pull from all the kids at Sterling, 4050 lofts, Avalon, and these new places, plus the andros area of campus. A real missed opportunity.

The lack of commercial space likely has to do more with Hillsborough County Zoning, Planning, and Development. It probably would have been cost prohibitive to seek mixed zoning approval in this area, but that's just a speculatve hunch on my part.
