Developer Larry Feldman talks about Tampa’s Riverwalk promenade morphing into something akin to what has been happening along St. Petersburg’s Beach Drive. He calls it “Beach Driveification.” He also labels the way companies keep squeezing more employees into less work space as the “sardine-ization of America.” He talks like thatification.
Well, here’s one business affix that we never needed around here–and Feldman is in a position to underscore it: the “Trumpification” of Tampa. Later this summer he’ll be opening a sales office for his 53-story Riverfront Place project on South Ashley Drive. A site that was, yes, once designated for Trump Tower Tampa. Talk about an ironically dodged bullet. Construction should begin next year.
