Altura Bayshore is a 23-story luxury condominium tower on Bayshore Boulevard in South Tampa, completed in June 2024 by The Ronto Group, a Naples-based developer with more than 50 years of Florida high-rise experience (Ronto Group and PR Newswire, June 2024). The tower holds 73 residences, including six penthouses, with views of Hillsborough Bay and the South Tampa skyline.
This is a high-rise, full-service condominium, not a subdivision, so the buy is read very differently from a single-residential neighborhood. The residences were designed by Curts Gaines Hall Jones Architects, with public spaces by Beasley and Henley Interior Design, and the building was built by Connor and Gaskins Unlimited. Typical residences run roughly 2,176 to 3,575 square feet, with larger penthouses above that, per the developer.
The amenity program is the headline. Ronto describes Altura as the only tower on Bayshore Boulevard with a full rooftop amenity deck, including a pool with lap lanes and a sun shelf, cabanas, a fire pit over the bay, and a clubroom, plus a fourth-level deck with a fitness center, pickleball and bocce courts, a putting green, a half-court basketball court, a dog park, and guest suites.
The pitch is a turn-key Bayshore lifestyle with a new building behind it. The work is the condo diligence: read the declaration, the budget, the reserve study, and the milestone-inspection and structural-reserve status under current Florida law, and run the flood, wind, and insurance math for a waterfront high-rise before you fall for the view.
