Mobile Tour: Past, Present, and Future for a Unique Shopping Destination – Hyde Park Village Walking Tour

In 2013, WS Development set out to revitalize Hyde Park Village with a goal to create an urban retail district with a strong sense of place — the antithesis to big-box mall shopping centers. By all accounts they succeeded - Hyde Park Village is a lifestyle center unlike any other in the region. Blending modern architecture, European-inspired detail, and high-end outdoor shopping in Tampa’s most historic district, Hyde Park Village is home to a unique combination of retail shops and restaurants spanning over 270,000 square feet. At Hyde Park Village, destination brands sit next to stand-out locals, such as rag & bone, Pottery Barn, Lululemon, Anthropologie, bartaco, Zimmermann, Warby Parker, Buddy Brew Coffee, Meat Market, Hyde House Public Studio, and Nike, offering regular programming such as farmers’ markets, holiday themed pop-ups, and unique collaborations amongst their tenants’ schedules
