Construction Resources Opens Tampa Design Center
The Southeastern design distributor is expanding in Ybor City alongside the 50-acre Gasworx development.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Construction
Construction Resources announced a new CR Design Center | Tampa in Ybor City, located at the historic Citrus Factory Building at 1728 East 2nd Avenue. The company also acquired Tampa-based Ramos Marble & Granite to strengthen its local natural stone and quartz fabrication and installation capabilities.
Why it matters
The expansion gives Tampa-area professional contractors and designers a local showroom for design-oriented surfaces, appliances, cabinets, plumbing fixtures and specialty products. It also reflects continued investment in the Southeast following The Home Depot's acquisition of the company in December 2023.
The new design center sits beside the 50-acre Gasworx development at 1728 East 2nd Avenue, and a separate warehouse at 1141 US-301 supports existing product lines. Financial terms of the Ramos Marble & Granite acquisition and the design center's investment size were not disclosed.
