Investment Analysis
Financial metrics for branded residences in Tampa
Tax Considerations

- Homestead exemption: Up to $50,000 for primary residents
- No estate or inheritance tax
- Documentary stamp tax: $0.70 per $100 on deeds
Industry Benchmarks
Major hotel groups including Marriott and Hilton underwrite hotel and residential components separately, with co-located developments the preferred model. Standalone branded residence schemes face greater scrutiny around brand alignment and long-term operational sustainability.
