The first phase definitely looks good especially compared to the before.
A few years ago a mutual friend of my best friend lived in Tampa. When my best friend went to visit he was impressed with the art scene. They went on some impressive art crawl and to The Dalí museum and he came back with a favorable impression of the area overall, despite the sprawl of the Metro.
If Tampa can expand the streetcar, implement a Metro light rail system and build on its strengths and get more people living in the core it can be a really nice city/region.
