SkyPoint, Residential skyscraper in downtown Tampa, United States
SkyPoint is a 33-story residential tower in downtown Tampa containing 380 housing units and retail shops on the ground floor. The building offers seven levels of covered parking, a clubhouse, fitness center, media room, and a swimming pool for those who live there.
Construction started in 2005 and finished in 2007, a time when Tampa was rapidly building high-rises to reshape its downtown core. This development marked a major turning point in the city's growth toward vertical residential living.
The building marks Tampa's shift from a purely commercial district toward a residential neighborhood where people now live alongside office workers.
The location offers easy access to restaurants, shops, and public transportation throughout downtown. Visitors walking around the area will find services and amenities within a short distance.
An unauthorized parachute jump from the building's top shortly before opening brought unexpected attention to the structure. This dramatic stunt highlighted the building's height and how it had become a notable landmark in the skyline.
