The iconic and historic S.H. Kress & Co. building has everyone talking about the planned 23-story tower in Downtown Tampa to include a boutique hotel and apartments. The Kress building, located at 811 N. Franklin Street, will feature 190 hotel rooms, 58 multi-family residential units, over 1,000 square feet of office space, and 15,217 square feet of restaurant space, and 124 parking spaces developed inside. A rezoning application has been filed for the real estate development.
