Welcome to Ybor City

Exquisite historic charm meets contemporary lifestyle
 
Ybor City stands proudly northeast of downtown Tampa. Founded in the late 19th century by Vicente Martinez-Ybor and other cigar magnates, the area was a beacon to immigrants from Cuba, Spain, and Italy, who found not just employment in the thriving cigar industry but a community that echoed the rhythms of their homelands.

Once the cigar industry's heart, Ybor City earned the sobriquet "Cigar City" and rapidly transformed Tampa from a languishing village into a lively metropolis. However, the Great Depression and changes in the cigar industry led to a decline, turning the bustling neighborhood into an abandoned district by the late 1970s. The 1980s brought a wave of artists who reinvigorated the area, and the subsequent decades saw the transformation of 7th Avenue into a hotspot for nightlife and entertainment. Today, Ybor City is a National Historic Landmark District that is experiencing a renewed residential boom, with offices and residences sprouting, marking a resurgence in population growth after many decades.
