ONE Tampa March 2025 Construction Update

ONE Tampa is a 42-story luxury condominium tower featuring 225 units, retail space, and amenities, currently being developed in the heart downtown Tampa, Florida. Upon completion, it will be the tallest building in Tampa and one of the tallest on Florida’s west coast.

ONE Tampa is a compelling urban EB-5 project with best-in-class features that limit EB-5 investors’ financial and immigration risks. The project is being developed by Kolter, a highly experienced and well-capitalized developer with a perfect EB-5 project track record. EB-5 investors benefit from a short three-year loan term and a repayment guaranty from a Kolter parent company. With strong sales, an independent regional center, significant job creation, and more, ONE Tampa is one of the highest-quality, lowest-risk urban EB-5 projects on the market.

Construction Progress

Construction on the ONE Tampa project continues to advance at a steady pace, and we’re excited to share our latest updates. Crews have been busy installing sheet piles around the main building core pile cap, a critical step that reinforces the excavation site and helps maintain a stable foundation. Meanwhile, the concrete contractor has begun excavating the pile caps in anticipation of forming and pouring them—a key milestone on the path to a solid structural base. The site work subcontractor also completed sanitary work in the right-of-way, moving the project one step closer to the next phase of construction.

On the permitting side, the project is making solid headway. Both the shell permit and the AMMR CBO permit are in progress, following a productive meeting in February with the Chief Building Official and plan reviewers to address remaining comments. Kolter expects to finalize these approvals in the coming weeks, setting the stage for the next big leap in project development. Once the permits are secured, the contractor anticipates kicking off site preparation and enabling work later this month, marking the beginning of more intensive construction activities.

Condominium Sales

The project has already presold 107 of its 225 condominiums, representing 48% of its total inventory. Buyers are required to pay non-refundable deposits totaling 25% of the purchase price, which means the ONE Tampa project is already generating substantial revenue from sales.

Experienced Developer

Kolter is one of the largest private developers in the United States. Since its founding in 1997, Kolter has invested in real estate projects totaling over $30 billion in value and has developed thousands of apartment units, single-family homes, condominium units, hotel rooms, and finished land lots in Florida.

Over its 25+ year history, Kolter has borrowed billions of dollars and has never failed to repay a loan. All EB-5 investments in Kolter projects are in good standing or have been repaid.

Kolter has extensive experience developing condominium towers similar to ONE Tampa through its business unit, Kolter Urban. Kolter Urban develops luxury condominiums in waterfront, water view, or urban in-fill locations. Kolter Urban’s condominium towers are strategically located and provide residents with access to the best amenities, services, and local attractions. These on-site amenities create enduring value and a sense of community, helping ensure strong sales and successful investments.

ONE Tampa follows six nearly identical urban EB-5 loan projects in Florida. EB5AN and Kolter have collaborated on the following luxury condominium tower developments:

• Water Club North Palm Beach (North Palm Beach, Florida)
• 100 Las Olas (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)
• Mark Sarasota (Sarasota, Florida)
• VUE Sarasota Bay (Sarasota, Florida)
• ONE St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg, Florida)
• Saltaire (St. Petersburg, Florida)

All of these prior EB-5 loan projects were completed on time and on budget, and 100% of the condominium units were sold. In nearly all cases, all units were presold before construction was completed. Kolter has either repaid the EB-5 funds or they remain in good standing.

Independent Regional Center

EB5AN serves as the regional center sponsor for ONE Tampa. Since EB5AN is entirely independent from the developer, it can prioritize the interests of its EB-5 investors without any conflicts of interest. EB5AN is an experienced EB-5 regional center operator and has facilitated over $1 billion in investments through the EB-5 program. To date, EB5AN’s total project development costs exceed $4.1 billion.

EB5AN focuses on offering foreign nationals low-risk, high-quality investment opportunities and has helped over 2,300 immigrant investors from over 60 countries.
