Tampa Heights has been a neighborhood on the rise for more than a decade, and today we caught a glimpse of the YMCA’s plans for the more than six acres it owns. This morning, Ellison Development filed rezoning requests, with plans for what a press release called “a new 6.20-acre mixed use development in Tampa Heights.”

The old Standard Oil Building (110 E Oak Ave., right) will remain as part of the YMCA's plan to redevelop 6.2 acres of Tampa Heights.
