Harbour Island
Harbour Island began in the early 80′s when Beneficial Drive developed Harbour Island, Incorporated to oversee operations for the creation of a multi-use community that included businesses, retail and residential opportunities on a 177 acre island off of downtown Tampa. When Beneficial purchased the island, they changed the name from Seddon Island to Harbour Island.
Just over 20 years ago, a forward thinking real estate executive envisioned an upscale residential community where others saw an abandoned industrial island and a downtown waterfront area dotted with dilapidated warehouses. And so the vision began. In 1983, ground was broken and the timeworn Seddon Island made way for Harbour Island, and a promise of luxury homes, shops and offices in the heart of downtown Tampa.
