Daryl Shaw plans new waterfront destination
January 20, 2023 -
Ybor landowner Daryl Shaw has filed plans to create a 33-acre, mixed-use waterfront development dubbed Ybor Harbor, which would surround the Ybor Channel. “Ybor Harbor is a transformative new addition to the fabric stitching together our urban neighborhoods from Ybor City to the Channel District, Water Street, Gas Worx, and our downtown core. Our focus is on creating a vibrant neighborhood, enhancing connectivity, and bringing the public to our city's cherished waterfront,” Shaw said in a news release. Ybor Harbor could include up to 6 million square feet of residential, office, hotel and retail space. It also includes opening a section of waterfront to the public that is currently restricted with a boardwalk, piers, boat slips, floating docks, green space and retail/restaurant uses, according to the release.
