Located in the hot new urban center of Tampa, The Slade is ideally situated in the Channelside District.  This location, adjacent to Tampa’s port and downtown business district, is the epitome of convenience.   Residents can walk to the corner supermarket for groceries, catch a movie at the local IMAX theatre, or spend the day at the aquarium, all within walking distance.  This pedestrian friendly neighborhood features a trolley running through its core, connecting it to the Hyde Park shopping district and historic Ybor district.  The trolley allows residents to enjoy the local culture such as museums, theatres, nightlife, diverse restaurants, Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center, and St. Pete Times Forum (The Largest entertainment venue in all of Tampa).

The Slade is a state of the art project is constructed with the finest amenities including a deluxe two-level fitness center, an infinity edge pool, a salt water pool, a rooftop sundeck, enclosed parking and “Smart Building” technology.

The clubroom, cyber café, and both north and south lobbies are designed with an urban modern style.

Location and timing are essential parts of any real estate decision.  The Channelside District is in a prime location.  In addition to the trolley system, The Slade is just blocks from three major interstates/expressways; I275, I4, and the Crosstown Expressway.  This tropical, urban neighborhood is in its first phase of development.   

This off plan development has completion date anticipated for late 2009.  Future home owners are able to lock in a preconstruction price, while the Channelside District continues to boom.  

Channelside district

Tampa is the commercial center of Florida's West Coast. While it's the country's eleventh busiest seaport and a center of banking, it is also bustling with attractions that bring visitors from all over the world. Downtown, the waterfront convention center draws many people, as does the Florida Aquarium and the adjoining Channelside district.
A drive into downtown may take you along Bayshore Boulevard skirting the waters of Tampa Bay. On any given day you might see joggers, skaters and bikers out on their daily quest for exercise along the world's longest continuous sidewalk. Some come just to soak up the sunshine and the view.

Besides a modern skyline, Tampa's long history is evident. As you cross the Hillsborough River you might notice in the distance the minarets towering above the University of Tampa. Tampa's streetcars that link The Florida Aquarium with the Convention Center, St. Pete Times Forum and historic Ybor City bring a nostalgic flare to an otherwise modern Channelside district where cruise ships sail from Garrison Port.

Downtown Tampa is also beginning to evolve into an urban center. More and more people are chosing not only to work downtown, but to live there as well. Lofts are appearing in older buildings and new condominium projects are in the works - including one by Donald Trump.
