Tampa General Hospital Breaks Ground Nov. 9 on Affordable Apartments for Health Workers: 170 Homes Due in Summer 2028
TAMPA, Fla. — Tampa General Hospital, in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, broke ground on November 9 with its development partner The Michaels Organization on The Linden, an apartment community that will offer affordable housing to employees of Tampa General and USF Health.
Tampa General President and CEO John Couris and Michaels Chief Investment Officer Mick Flanagan were joined by Hillsborough County Commissioners Gwen Myers and Chris Boles at the groundbreaking on the site at 9804 Delaney Creek Boulevard in Brandon.
The Linden will offer 170 apartment homes, in one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, to Tampa General and USF Health team members earning between 80 and 120 percent of the area median income, with a 5,000-square-foot childcare facility on site. It sits about one mile from Tampa General's Brandon Emergency Center, and a free shuttle will run to the hospital's main campus and USF Health.
The state of Florida contributed $12.5 million to the project, and Hillsborough County committed $2 million over four years. The community is expected to open in late summer 2028. The hospital said that, as the national housing crisis drives up home prices and rents, the project aims to help frontline health workers live affordably near their workplaces and shorten their commutes.
