NOHO Build-Ready Lot in the West Tampa Overlay. Skip the teardown and start building. This cleared lot sits inside the West Tampa Overlay District within NOHO, minutes from Downtown Tampa, the Hillsborough River and Hyde Park. The house is already gone, so there is no demolition cost or delay. Subject to buyer's due diligence, the overlay rules give a builder more room to work, not less. Builders: Residential lots of record that existed on or before January 1, 2004 are treated as conforming in the overlay and can be developed for any use the underlying zoning permits, up to the density in the City's Comprehensive Plan. Side setbacks are just 5 feet, and the front setback follows the block average rather than a fixed number, referenced in City of Tampa Code Sec. 27-241. Luxury and custom-home buyers: Build a brand-new home minutes from Downtown, the river and Hyde Park, in a state with no personal income tax. Tampa led the nation in luxury home price growth, according to a July 2026 Redfin report. Why the overlay works in your favor: Sides and corners have tight 5 foot setbacks. The rear setback is 15 feet for the main house and just 6 feet for a garage or carport off the alley. The front setback follows the block average, and the zoning administrator can approve a reduced setback where the surrounding pattern is shallower. The lot adjoins an open, active alley, so cars can enter from the rear and garage doors stay off the front facade. Two-story accessory structures can be approved where the block already sets the precedent, up to the height of the main house. The zoning administrator can approve alternative design exceptions, and the City offers a courtesy pre-application review. Every new home in the district must meet the same design standards, which helps protect values. West Tampa is also one of the City's five designated Opportunity Zone subdistricts. Location and momentum: W State Street sits where North Hyde Park meets West Tampa (NOHO), close to Downtown, the river, the University of Tampa, Hyde Park Village and SoHo, with Tampa International Airport within a very close distance. Nearby investment includes the Julian B. Lane Riverfront Park, a roughly 35 million dollar makeover of 23 acres completed in 2018; Armature Works and The Heights, a 73,000 square foot restored warehouse and public market anchoring a 50 acre waterfront district with The Pearl apartments and a planned office campus; the 12.2 mile West River trail network along the river; and Rome Yards, an 18 acre redevelopment planned for 954 mixed-income homes, retail, green space and an amphitheater, with its first tower topped out in May 2026 and completion expected in July 2027. Add Florida's lack of a state personal income tax, which keeps drawing high-income buyers to Tampa Bay, and this is a rare close-in lot ready to build on. Buyer to verify all zoning, setbacks, and permitting with the City of Tampa.
