"New York boutique hotels expand to Miami Beach all the time, so why shouldn’t the Philadelphia-based purveyor of boutique-hip serviced apartments set up a Florida branch in downtown Tampa? The immediate location is Tampa’s redeveloped Water Street district, and the building, by Morris Adjmi Architects, is a new build, but one that pays homage to the industrial heritage of the neighborhood; the upper floors are private residences, and the lower ones belong to ROOST Tampa." - Mark Fedeli
