Welcome toThe Palma Ceia Business & Design District. Nestled in the heart of South Tampa overlooking Bayshore Boulevard, the world's longest waterfront sidewalk, lies one of Tampa’s oldest, exclusive communities. Towering oaks shade red brick roads that lead to a gorgeous sampling of Tampa's ONLY district of over 100 unique, diverse art galleries, boutiques, shops, restaurants and cafes…each with their own style, design and personality.
Come experience old-world, contemporary, country and ethnic treasures surrounded by exquisite bakeries, restaurants and cafes offering Greek, Italian, Lebanese, Mediterranean, Japanese, French-Moroccon, Irish, British & American foods.
Stroll through studios and small houses converted into art galleries and antique shops offering Tampa's finest European treasures from the 17th century forward. Relax and pamper yourself at one of the health & beauty spas or get a massage. Shop the exclusive clothing and home boutiques or visit cutting edge interior showrooms. It's all here, fine wine for the connoisseur, belly dancing for the daring and located a stone's throw from from Gasparilla's pirate siege. Skip the usual & ordinary for a taste of Tampa's local culture.
Here on the site is a sample of the best in the district...visit us today and fall in love all over again. ART PROJECT AGREEMENT - SIGNED 9/9/09
After months of planning and meetings with the City of Tampa, Palma Ceia Business and Design District is thrilled to announce that we have entered into an agreement with Marc De Waele, Art Symphony Galleria to construct a "landmark sculpture" on the southeast corner of Bay to Bay Boulevard and MacDill Avenue. The art structure is made possible through a joint collaberation with The City of Tampa, The Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority and the members of Palma Ceia Business & Design District.
Special mention goes to our Belgian artist Marc De Waele who is donating his time and energy to build the beautiful art sculpture and Jeanette Mellody, of Beef O' Brady's who has donated the funds for the materials in honor of her late husband, Jim Mellody, founder of the family sports pub. As the plans unfold, we will be posting details of our ribbon-cutting event celebration. VIEW MARC DE WAELE's BIO, PLAN DRAWING AND ARTIST'S NOTES
