Tampa Port Authority Channelside Garage Expansion Celebrates Grand Opening

TimHaahs joined with Kraft Construction Company and HKS Architects to design this essential infrastructure project for the Tampa Port Authority. The project has already won a 2009 Award of Merit from the American Institute
of Architects, Tampa Bay Chapter.

The expansion is a complex design-build project consisting of a four-tier, 720-space horizontal expansion to an existing garage and designed for a one-level vertical expansion in the future. The expansion will serve the growing number of cruise travelers and associated traffic at the port and the Channelside District. The ground level features daytime parking for buses and limousines and nighttime valet parking. The upper tiers will be used for public and valet parking at the Owners discretion.

TimHaahs provided parking consultation, functional design and structural engineering services for the garage expansion. This project supports growing demand and traffic at the Port, contributing to the growth of tourism in the city and throughout the region.
