Harbour Island

Approximate price range $200,000 to $6,000,000

Many people, both from the area and those moving to Tampa FL, might be interested in knowing a little more about Harbour Island in South Tampa.

Harbour Island was first Known as Seddon Island. It was named after W. L. Seddon, chief engineer for the Seaboard Air Line railroad. In August of 1906, a public hearing was held to figure out plans for the city's new port. Seddon's plans were adopted and soon his company was dredging a channel and establishing a port facility on Grassy Island.

The 177-acre island was much later bought by the Beneficial Corporation, a consumer finance and insurance company based in Wilmington, Del., from the Seaboard Coast Line in 1979 for $2.9 million. The Beneficial Corp. had plans for a mixed Residential, office, and retail development. The vision took a long time to materialize. The first phase was begun in 1985. It included a 300-room hotel, a 199,000-square-foot office building and a 66,000-square-foot retail center. The projects had their problems, but the retail did by far the worst. In the end, the only thing that has lasted is Jackson's Restaurant, which still serves great food. Also around this time the first condo projects, the 3-story Seddon Cove waterfront condo and Alder Court a 6-story condominium, were built.

For about 6 years, Harbour Island stayed all but dormant. In fact the development company was losing tens of millions of dollars a year. Only in 1991, did development restart in the form of Island Walk Apartments, Harbour Homes, and Island Homes. Soon the development could not be stopped. In the 1990's, Port Royal and St. Tropez on Seddon Channel, The Keys and Harbour Side townhomes on the East side channel were completed. The few pieces of land left became the Point, which are large single family homes on the south tip of Harbour Island, and the Park crest and Plaza condos, which are just being completed.

Harbour Island is a private, gated, master-planned community in South Tampa and is directly linked to downtown Tampa by two bridges. Secluded and worlds away from the stresses of day-to-day life, this unique community is Tampa's island paradise in the city. Shopping, fine dining, recreation and entertainment are all just steps from your front door.

Luxury residences including single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and rental apartments area a part of the masterplan that also includes upscale office space, a marina, shopping, a private health and tennis club and the Wyndham harbour Island hotel.

Within minutes from the Lee Roy Selmon Expressway and all Bay Area interstates, Harbour Island provides quality and convenience for all of its residents.
