Скачать или смотреть Episode 24: The Rhythm of Place : Inside Gasworx with Lauren Campbell

📍 Recorded at Hotel Haya, Ybor City

In this episode of Create A Place, I sit down with Lauren Campbell, Founder of Archer Group, whose work spans retail leasing, development, and placemaking across Tampa Bay. Lauren is currently leading retail leasing for Gasworx in Ybor City, bringing a perspective shaped by years of studying how people move through space, and how culture is shaped at street level.

CREATE+CO is actively engaged in the Gasworx development, designing common areas and spec suites for the office building in partnership with Kettler and JLL. We’ve also had conversations with Lauren’s team around prospective retail and hospitality tenants for Gasworx and beyond. As a firm rooted in Ybor City and invested in its continued evolution, this conversation carries added meaning for us.

At its core, this episode is about shaping place, how movement, energy, and human behavior at street level determine whether a development simply exists or truly belongs.

In this episode, we unpack:

Why Ybor felt familiar the moment Lauren arrived — and why that matters
What most people miss when they walk the neighborhood
How architecture teaches you to think in space and time
Why leasing is cultural curation, not just deal-making
How tenant mix shapes movement, energy, and daily rhythm
The balance between participation and observation in retail environments
Why “return on experience” outlasts price per square foot
The role of authentic local operators in building trust and momentum
Why the Marketplace is the heart of Gasworx

🎧 This episode is a reminder that when you curate thoughtfully at street level, you don’t just fill buildings — you shape how a neighborhood feels for generations.
