Introduction
Tampa Palms is an exclusive mix-use, planned community complete with homes, shops, offices, apartment homes, churches, recreational facilities, schools and dinning facilities. Designed by engineering team of Post, Buckley, Schuh & Jernigan, Tampa Palms has been awarded the coveted Aurora Award by the Southeast Homebuilders Association and was named “the top master planned community in the US” by the National Association of Homebuilders. Located on 5,400 acres of beautiful native Florida landscape, Tampa Palms embraces the Hillsborough River on the south – in fact, it was once described by the prime developer Ken Good as “Your small town by the river” -- and it lies along the I-75 and Bruce B Downs (CR 581) corridors.
A Glimpse of “The Old South
The main entrance to Tampa Palms includes the signature red brick walls and monuments, a theme that is carried throughout the community. The original residential communities have brick monument signs with black granite and gold lettering. The signs are illuminated at night with power-saving LED lights. At the entrance the buildings of a noted real estate company and nationally known childcare facility reflect a combination of “old South” and Post-Modern architectures, incorporating brick features, expansive windows and wrap-around porches. Wide boulevards create an open atmosphere that is even preserved in deed restriction documents.
