Twenty-One Feet Above the Floodplain
Elevation, drainage and block construction are the first three questions a seasoned Tampa Bay buyer asks. Here are the verified answers, without ornament.
The short answer
- The site sits approximately twenty-one feet above the floodplain.
- Solid concrete block construction, with impact-rated glass at every opening.
The ground came first
Latitudes in the Park is built on ground sitting approximately twenty-one feet above the floodplain. Height is the part of a site that cannot be renovated later, which is why we lead with it.
The grade was engineered before the first slab was poured. Water moves off the site between the buildings rather than gathering behind them. It is the least photogenic work on the property and the first thing we would show an inspector.
Solid block construction
The residences are solid concrete block construction. Every opening carries impact-rated glass. The entries sit above the drive, so water reaching the street does not reach the door.
This is the specification on all twenty-five residences. There is no upgraded structural package here, because there is nothing above it to sell you.
