ONE Tampa is a 42-story luxury residential tower rising in downtown Tampa, Florida. Featuring 225 residences, retail space, and premium amenities, the tower will become Tampa’s tallest residential building once completed. As a fully subscribed EB-5 project, ONE Tampa demonstrates the successful execution of large-scale luxury development in collaboration with Kolter and EB5AN, delivering measurable results in both construction progress and economic impact.

Construction Progress
Construction momentum continued through December and into January, with significant vertical advancement and multiple major structural milestones completed.
Concrete operations progressed rapidly throughout the month, with both pours 1 and 2 for Levels 14, 15, 16, and 17 successfully completed, extending the tower’s structure higher into the skyline. TECO pits were also poured on Level 1, supporting future electrical infrastructure. Level 2 drywall is nearing completion. Interior buildout also advanced, with the main electrical room on Level 12 framed and exterior walls sheathed.
Mechanical and life-safety systems continued to rise alongside the structure, with sprinkler installation completed through Level 10 and plumbing extended to Level 10.5. CMU installation at the elevator core advanced up to Level 4, further supporting vertical circulation and core development. These coordinated efforts reflect continued steady progress as ONE Tampa moves confidently upward.
Job Creation Progress for ONE Tampa
As of November 30, 2025, more than 920 qualifying jobs, including 425 direct and 495 indirect positions were created. Additional job creation is expected as construction progresses through the tower’s upper floors.
The Importance of Job Creation for EB-5 Investors
Under EB-5 program rules, each investor must support the creation of at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers. When investors complete their conditional residency period, USCIS evaluates whether the required jobs were actually produced. Because of this, a project’s job creation trajectory directly influences investor security and immigration outcomes.
Some EB-5 offerings on the market have not yet begun construction, increasing the risk that insufficient spending could jeopardize future job counts. ONE Tampa avoids this issue through an expenditure guaranty provided by Kolter, ensuring that all EB-5 capital is directed toward qualifying development activities. This structure reinforces strong job creation performance and supports investors on the path to permanent residency.
Condominium Sales
Buyer interest remains robust, with 122 residences sold to date. Buyers submit non-refundable deposits totaling 25% of the purchase price, contributing to substantial presale revenue and providing strong financial support for the development.
Experienced Developer
Kolter remains one of the largest private developers in the United States. Since its founding in 1997, the company has developed thousands of residential units, hotel rooms, and land projects, totaling over $37 billion in value.
Kolter’s track record in EB-5 projects is strong, with all prior loans either repaid or in good standing. The developer’s urban condominium division, Kolter Urban, focuses on luxury towers in prime waterfront, water-view, and downtown locations. These developments consistently offer residents premium amenities and enhance long-term community value.
ONE Tampa follows the pattern of six comparable urban EB-5 loan projects in Florida. In collaboration with EB5AN, Kolter has developed the following luxury condominium towers:
- 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)
Each of these previous EB-5 projects was completed on schedule and within budget, with all condominium units sold, often fully presold before construction concluded. EB-5 funds in these developments have either been fully repaid or remain in good standing, reflecting Kolter’s consistent track record of successful project execution.
