Rays unveil privately financed, 8B mixed-use district around proposed Tampa stadium
The Tampa Bay Rays released renderings for a privately funded, $8 billion mixed-use district surrounding its proposed Hillsborough College/Dale Mabry stadium site, planned to include office space, retail, dining and hospitality across more than 100 acres. The project aims to create a walkable neighborhood around the ballpark, with additional renderings, including a revamped Hillsborough College portion, to be released soon. Rays CEO Ken Babby says the development is about more than baseball and has attracted Fortune 500 interest, though financing details have not been shared.
