Morin Breaks Ground on $200M Mixed-Use Project Near Tampa

ORLANDO-Developer Ken Morin is embarking on what could be the most challenging job of his 25-year career–the planned 700-acre, $200 million, mixed-use Suncoast Crossings in rural Pasco County, 15 miles north of Tampa, FL and 80 miles west of Downtown Orlando.

Challenging because the suburban venture opens a new commercial/residential corridor and extends Tampa suburbs to deeper boundaries made possible by the completion of Suncoast Parkway and State Road 54, eight minutes from Citrus Park Mall.

The project, planned for a five-year buildout, will have 1.2 million sf of office; 500,000 sf of commercial/retail; a hotel; and single family/multifamily product. Suncoast Crossings will front State Road 54. Morin is joint venturing the undertaking with Tampa-based Alliant Partners LLC under the MDG Suncoast LLC name. Regions Bank is funding the project.
