Why Gasworx Could Become the Most Iconic District in Florida

On episode 145, Garrett sits down with Joshua Pardue, whose team is leading the retail curation for Gasworx, one of the most ambitious redevelopment projects in Tampa. With $182 million in construction funding secured and thousands of new residents moving in, national and boutique retailers are now seriously considering Ybor for the first time in years. Joshua shares how his team is shaping the district’s future while keeping it authentic to its history and building a walkable, design-forward neighborhood that feels genuine, not corporate.0:00:00 - Introduction0:06:31 - Gasworx Renderings0:11:30 - Other Development Styles0:17:00 - Retail Curation for Gasworx0:32:27 - Out of State Tenants0:40:09 - The Future of Ybor0:46:56 - Rise of Demand for Tampa0:53:40 - Vision for Gasworx0:59:31 - Block E2 Leasing1:14:47 - La Union and Block W21:16:33 - Block E1 Leasing1:24:41 - Chipotle coming to Water Street1:30:07 - Planning Development 100 Years Out1:36:47 - Block E3 Leasing1:54:49 - Update on Garrett’s Development Project
