LA Fitness opens $12.5M ELEVATE club at RITHM at Uptown in Tampa

TAMPA — November 13, 2026 -- LA Fitness has opened a club of about 30,000 square feet under its ELEVATE concept at RITHM at Uptown, the redevelopment of the former University Mall at 2170 E. Fowler Avenue, RD Management announced. The approximately $12.5 million construction investment works out to roughly $417 per square foot, by our calculation.

ELEVATE club divides its floor space into specialized training zones

The club includes a Reformer Pilates studio, a HYROX functional training area, and LIFT, an expanded free-weight space with a Rogue Rig system, Olympic benches and lifting platforms. It also offers personal training, locker rooms and instructor-led group fitness classes.

Mike Carroll, Co-CEO of RD Management, said LA Fitness chose RITHM for the market debut of the ELEVATE concept. The release does not say who funds the $12.5 million or how many ELEVATE clubs LA Fitness plans to open.

Preferred Realty adds four $1,500 teacher grants to scholarships

WEXFORD — November 13, 2026 -- Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty has committed $18,000 to seven education awards for the 2026–2027 cycle. The package adds four teacher grants of up to $1,500 each to the brokerage's Dream, Innovate, Grow scholarship program, run in partnership with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Stouffer Realty.

The money covers 32 counties, 16 in Western Pennsylvania and 16 in Eastern Ohio. That works out to about $563 per county.

Teacher grants account for one-third of the $18,000 commitment

The four Innovative Teaching Grants total $6,000 at the full $1,500 level, or one-third of the budget. The three student scholarships of $4,000 each make up the other $12,000, or two-thirds. The release describes the grants both as "$1,500" and as "up to $1,500", so $6,000 is a ceiling, not a guaranteed spend.

ALPHARETTA — November 13, 2026 -- Perennial Housing Group has launched as an affordable housing owner and operator with a portfolio of 31 properties holding almost 4,000 apartment units across 10 states in the Southeast and Midwest.
