Property Markets Group and Baker Barrios Architects are partnering to redevelop Robles Park Village, a master plan community in the Tampa Heights neighborhood in Florida. The new community will focus on health and wellness and financial well being with mixed-income housing options. Tampa Housing Authority has approved the redevelopment plan.

Once complete, the redeveloped Robles Park Village will feature 1,012 housing units, including market-rate, townhomes and senior housing with 85% of the community qualifying as affordable. As a result, the property will double the supply of low-income rental housing in the development. In addition to the rental housing, the development will also offer for-sale opportunities through 77 townhomes.

As part of the approved plans, the development team will also address several community concerns. The master plan will include a technology-outfitted 50,000-square-foot resource center with several services, including career education with mentoring programs and after school care, functional co-working space, financial services, health services and a fitness center. The center will also offer outdoor spaces. Speaking about the mixed-income quality of the property, Tim Baker, CEO and founding principal of BBA said, "Our goal was to deliver a plan that creates greater equity, economic mobility."
