Tampa isn’t just growing, it’s exploding, and this episode proves why. Owen LaFave hosts visionary developer Luigi Novembre and real estate expert Regina Sotomayor to break down one of the most ambitious projects in the city: Hotel ORA. This isn’t your typical development; it’s a luxury condotel designed to generate serious income while redefining Tampa’s skyline. Demand for hotel room nights in Tampa is surging, and with supply not able to keep up, this has become an investment opportunity. Hotel ORA gives investors and those looking for permanent residence to own a piece of one of Tampa’s most iconic areas.
Luigi shares how his model flips the script on traditional condo hotels by dramatically lowering operating expenses and maximizing investor returns. Regina brings boots-on-the-ground insight into buyer demand, out-of-state migration, and why Tampa is becoming a magnet for wealth. From pre-construction pricing strategies to long-term income potential, this episode discusses what makes this project so unique. If you’re invested in real estate or just the future of Tampa Bay, this is one you don’t want to miss. The takeaway? The right project, in the right market, at the right time, can change everything.
