A $675 million condo-hotel project, billionaire-backed urban expansion, and record-setting migration are transforming Tampa into the state’s premier real estate opportunity.
Tampa is no longer Florida’s best-kept secret — it has rapidly emerged as the state’s premier investment destination, fueled by unprecedented economic growth, billionaire-backed developments, and a major influx of buyers migrating from Miami, New York, and other high-cost metros. Now, the city is entering its next era with Hotel Ora + Private Residences, a $675 million, professionally-managed condo-hotel concept designed for today’s global investor.
Hotel Ora + Private Residences: Tampa’s Ultimate Investor-Friendly Asset
Strategically located at the intersection of Tampa’s expanding luxury market and its booming tourism sector, Hotel Ora + Private Residences delivers the rare combination of five-star hospitality, turnkey management, high-yield rental potential, and effortless ownership.
The project offers a built-in professional management team that oversees maintenance, housekeeping, guest relations, and revenue management — ideal for investors seeking passive income without operational complexity.
Owners can also elect to join the project’s managed rental program, designed to:
- Generate income: This condo-hotel model maximizes income from Tampa’s strong tourism and business travel sectors, with a far lower management and hoa fee structure.
- 2-Year Buy-With-Confidence Program: Buyers can take advantage of Ora’s exclusive 2-year Buy-With-Confidence initiative, providing financial reassurance and stability during ownership, especially for out-of-state and international investors.
- Tap into high demand: Inspired by South Beach luxury, the project has already surpassed $200 million in pre-sales, signaling strong market confidence.
- Ensure effortless ownership: White-glove service allows non-local owners to enjoy all the financial benefits of real estate without being on-site.
Exclusive Living: The Penthouse Collection + Crypto Advantage
For ultra-high-net-worth buyers, the Penthouse Private Residences present expansive layouts, designer finishes, and a private rooftop helipad — offering seamless private arrivals and departures.
Investors can also take advantage of the industry’s most innovative transaction methods.
As the exclusive representative of the project, Bozana Cavar, Broker Associate at EXP Realty, facilitates crypto-enabled purchases, allowing buyers to acquire residences using cryptocurrency, U.S. dollars, or secure crypto-backed loans. This option gives investors the ability to leverage digital assets without liquidating them.
The Brightline Effect: A New Catalyst for Value
The arrival of the Brightline high-speed rail station connecting Tampa to Orlando and South Florida is expected to be a major value accelerator. Brightline has already transformed markets in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach — with some neighborhoods near existing stations seeing resale values surge over 131%.
This expanded connectivity will elevate Tampa’s urban core, making luxury assets like Hotel Ora even more attractive to professionals, travelers, and residents seeking convenient movement across the state.
Wealth Migration: Florida’s Relocation Wave Moves North
Recent U.S. Census data shows Miami and Palm Beach experiencing significant net domestic migration losses, as residents seek more affordable yet dynamic areas. Tampa is becoming a prime relocation destination, offering:
- A more balanced cost of living
- Lower taxes
- A growing job market
- A thriving cultural and professional ecosystem
As the economic center of gravity shifts north, Tampa continues to draw former New Yorkers and South Floridians looking for high-value, income-producing assets.
The Investment-Grade Economy: Big Names, Big Momentum
Tampa’s rapid ascent is being shaped by institutional-grade investment and major corporate expansion.
- Bill Gates–Backed Transformation:
The landmark Water Street Tampa development — a $3.5 billion, 55-acre mixed-use project — is backed by Bill Gates’ Cascade Investment, LLC in partnership with Jeff Vinik. As North America’s first WELL Certified™ city district, Water Street is reshaping downtown Tampa with luxury residences, corporate headquarters, high-end retail, hospitality, and office towers. - Booming Sectors:
Tampa’s economy is accelerating across technology, finance, and healthcare, attracting skilled professionals and fueling demand for luxury real estate and mixed-use developments.
By investing in professionally managed, income-producing assets like Hotel Ora, buyers are positioning themselves at the center of Florida’s next major growth story.
