The unit “feels like a house in the sky,” said Eric Dungy of Compass Florida, who listed it in April with colleague Jon Fincher. “The views are amazing, the custom finishes are timeless, and there are few condos in Tampa that have as much square footage.”
Witmer said that she and her husband are committed to investing in Tampa and plan to buy more property in the city with the sale proceeds.

The unit is 5,107 square feet. One of 37 units in the building, it has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one half bath.

Neighborhood Notes
Water Street, a vibrant 16-block neighborhood in Tampa with restaurants and shops, is one of the areas recently redeveloped in what Whitmer called the “explosive” growth of the city.
“It’s kind of hip,” she said, adding that the city’s median age is 35. “It’s an environment where people hang out. We were there recently, and there was live music in the streets and people were out dancing.”

She noted that the redevelopment has taken a “green and grass-roots approach” by building local businesses “that feels unique to Tampa. It’s a fresh feeling being downtown and overlooking the bay.”
