Shell construction ShopInterbay - South of Gandy

Interbay Retail

A City of Tampa building permit describes a new 6,000 sq ft shell building at 6204 Interbay Blvd, in a project the permit calls Interbay Retail. The build-out will be permitted separately, and no tenant is named in the permit.

Building permits describe planned work. They don’t guarantee that a business will open or when.

Permit numbers link to each record on the City of Tampa’s permitting site. Status is as the City listed it on Sept. 25, 2026. Supporting permits are other permits for the same project: at the same address and naming the same place, citing one another, or covering another phase of the same building.

When we spotted it

This permit was already active when Tampa Thinks started watching City permits on Sept. 25, 2026. We found it in the existing permits. That isn’t when it was filed, and it doesn’t make it new.

What this means

A building permit is the City’s record of planned construction work. It doesn’t mean a business will open, and it doesn’t say when. Plans change, tenants change, and some permitted work is never finished.

The sentence above is written from the permit’s details by fixed rules. Where the permit leaves something out, such as the tenant, we say so rather than guess. We don’t republish the permit’s own text. How Spotted works.
