PLACEMAKING PROJECTS
No other construction company has been involved with more Placemaking Projects in Tampa than Ellison Construction.
Projects like Oxford Exchange, Armature Works, Sparkman Wharf, and Hotel Haya are projects that inspire people to reimagine what community means and maximize the share value of the neighborhood.
While these projects have a high-design approach that helps their occupants create an emotional connection to their surroundings, placemaking design goes beyond the bricks and mortar of a building. It facilitates creative use patterns, emphasizing the physical, cultural, and social identities that are already defining a place and supporting its evolution into something greater.
Simply put, placemaking projects create places where people want to live, work, and play.

Ellison’s Collaborative Approach
With all projects, but especially placemaking projects, our team believes a hands-on, collaborative approach to building is the only way to achieve results that change neighborhoods for the better. Ellison believes the earlier in the process we are involved, the more value we can bring. Working with partners from public, private, and community sectors is essential to these projects. Each unique perspective helps animate spaces that shape the social character of a neighborhood. We can bring our extensive experience with building these projects and integrating them into their neighborhood - enhancing the area without diminishing the history of its residents.
