A Washington D.C.-based real estate development and investment firm with a substantial Tampa presence has joined one of the Historic Gas Plant District bids.

Kettler, a partner at Gasworx in Ybor, has joined Ark Ellison Horus, the development team eyeing a shot at redeveloping one of the most coveted pieces of dirt in the Southeastern United States, ahead of Tuesday night's proposal deadline. The move is intended to strengthen execution capacity for the 86-acre site, which is 95.5 acres under its proposal. Kettler is expected to be a long-term partner as the district delivers over the next several years, if its bid is selected by the city of St. Petersburg.
