As Miami’s luxury real estate market reaches maturity, savvy investors are turning their attention north—to Tampa. A city undergoing rapid transformation, Tampa is emerging as one of Florida’s most promising markets, offering a compelling mix of affordability, lifestyle, and long-term value. At the heart of this shift is Hotel Ora + Private Residences, a one-of-a-kind opportunity that blends hospitality, investment flexibility, and premium living—curated for a new era of real estate.
Leading the charge is Bozana Cavar, a seasoned agent with a pulse on Florida’s evolving luxury landscape. Through a curated investor event, Cavar recently spotlighted Hotel Ora alongside key partners including Luigi Novembre, the developer behind the project; Eric Cruz, CRO of Propy, a pioneer in crypto-enabled real estate transactions. Lastly, the expertise of financial advisors Juan Nunez at Breakthrough Wealth Group and David Fisher and Dustin Wylie of Tax Free Wealth Group, both groups known for their focus on asset diversification and tax-efficient wealth building. The consensus was clear: Tampa is poised for a breakout, and Hotel Ora offers a first-mover advantage.
Why Tampa? Why Now?
Tampa checks all the boxes: a growing job market, vibrant culture, waterfront living, and a cost of living far more accessible than Miami’s. But it’s not just quality of life that’s attracting attention. Forward-looking investors—including many from the crypto world—are seeking real estate assets that offer both appreciation potential and reliable income. With digital liquidity in hand, they’re entering the property market in innovative ways—borrowing against crypto wallets to invest in income-generating assets while preserving their digital holdings.
For these buyers, Hotel Ora + Private Residences represents a highly strategic play.
A Landmark Location with Billion-Dollar Neighbors
Location remains paramount in real estate, and Hotel Ora + Private Residences delivers on that front. Situated just steps from Tampa’s Water Street, the project sits adjacent to one of the most ambitious urban redevelopment efforts in the U.S. Backed by Cascade Investment LLC, Bill Gates’ private investment fund, and Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik, Water Street is a 53-acre, $3.5 billion master-planned district blending residential, commercial, educational, and hospitality offerings. Its scale and vision promise significant long-term uplift for surrounding properties—making Hotel Ora’s positioning especially attractive.
The Only Condo Hotel in Downtown Tampa Approved for Nightly Rentals
What truly differentiates Hotel Ora + Private Residences from other developments is its legal designation as the only condo hotel in downtown Tampa with full approval for short-term nightly rentals and a low HOA fee structure with $1.03 per square foot per month. In a post-pandemic economy where flexibility is king, this distinction empowers owners to generate steady revenue through platforms like Airbnb or use the property for personal retreats—with minimal limitations.
Developer Incentives Tailored for Today’s Investor
Beyond location and lifestyle, the developer, ARC Tampa Development LLC, has introduced a suite of incentives that directly address investor needs:
- 2-Year Leaseback Program: Immediate returns for hands-off investors.
- Buyback Guarantee: A two-year exit option provides added security and confidence.
- Attractive Financing: 50% balance financed over two years at a competitive 7% rate.
- Lowest Management Fee in the Market: Just 15%, optimizing net returns.
Five-Star Living Meets Strategic Ownership
Residents and investors alike benefit from a full suite of luxury amenities designed to rival top-tier resorts:
- A Society Club membership for elevated social access.
- A rooftop infinity-edge pool and lounge with sweeping city views and curated entertainment.
- Signature dining experiences, including a ground-floor upscale national brand steakhouse with room service.
- A high-end spa, infrared saunas, and fitness center, designed for holistic wellness.
- Concierge services, children’s amenities, private helipad access, and hurricane-rated construction—ensuring both comfort and peace of mind.
- Business-class features, including flexible event spaces and a fully equipped lounge, cater to professionals and digital nomads alike.
