SI Real Estate Tampa and The Beaches

Some very exciting news is making headlines across the country; the 15 th Annual International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) awards are to take place in Tampa this April. This is the first time in history that the international showcase event will be held in the United States, and it is a great honor for Tampa to be selected as the host.
