INSPIRING CITIES CALL FOR INSPIRED ARCHITECTURE.
CBA Architects has been instrumental in bringing multifamily and mixeduse communities to life all throughout Tampa and West Florida. After all, it’s our job to know cities. We’re in the thick of the urban fabric, helping to mold Tampa’s dynamic culture. We get the city’s identity, how it feels, looks, and sounds. We know Tampa, because we are Tampa.
As the city continues to grow, we decided it was time to open an office in the heart of The Big Guava. Our location in the Channel District is the perfect place to guide your investment in Tampa and build its future. So let’s grab a café con leche in Ybor City, a beer at Cigar City Brewing, or maybe just count the missing teeth after a Lightning game.

Chamfered corners provide rhythmic breaks and elegant massing, promoting a pedestrian-friendly urbanist quality. Inside, ARCOS draws inspiration from classic hotels and voluminous train stations, with a grand, nostalgic atmosphere and an on-site art gallery showcasing international and local artists.

THE YBOR LOFTS
THE YBOR LOFTS
Tampa, Florida
As part of Tampa’s historic Ybor City district, the architectural vocabulary at the Ybor Lofts reinterprets nearby buildings and materials with a modern eye. Blond and red brick, stucco, wrought iron balconies, and distinctive street lighting are all represented in the design, successfully integrating the building within the neighborhood. Inside, the community features striking high-end finishes and modern conveniences expected from today’s luxury apartments.
Our density goal is achieved through creative problem-solving. A single building would have exceeded the allowable square footage, so the structure is split into two buildings separated by a two-hour fire wall, resulting in a valuable and lucrative property. By adding vitality to its surroundings, the Ybor Lofts shines as an example of modern urban luxury, with easy walkability to local restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
