Skanska has been selected to lead the $38 million renovation and expansion project of the Tampa Convention Center. The firm will work closely with Baker Barrios Architects in the design-build project that will be completed in two phases.

The six-year adaptive reuse project of the 640,000 sf historic station, created by the same architect as New York’s Grand Central Station, is the latest sign of a reinvigorating Detroit.
