Downtown Developments: September 2017

St Pete Rising Logo
It seems like each time we take a stroll through downtown there are new restaurants and galleries opening and more apartment complexes and condo towers being built. We realize it’s difficult to keep track of everything. Luckily, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to. Each month we will feature a few of the most exciting new downtown developments that are on the horizon for the Sunshine City.

The St. Pete Sculpture Museum has announced plans to open at 780 Central Ave, next door to the prominent Chihuly Collection. The museum will feature the works of award-winning sculptor Jon Hair, who has created bronze sculptures for the US Olympic Committee, The Emmys, and over 35 American colleges. The 3,200 square foot gallery will house over 200 pieces of art, including many of Hair’s original clay master sculptures. The museum hopes to be open by Christmas.

An 18-unit condominium complex broke ground this month in Downtown St. Pete. Only a ten minute walk to Central Ave, 747 North offers three bedroom, three bathroom condos with each unit over 1,800 square feet of living space and two parking spots per unit in the covered parking garage. Some floor plans are already sold out, so don’t miss this opportunity to live in the heart of the Sunshine City. The development is located at 747 4th Ave N. and prices start at $460,000.

A new downtown Hyatt Place located at 25 2nd Street North will start accepting reservations October 15th. The 174-key hotel shares a block with the 41-story ONE St. Petersburg condo tower currently under construction and scheduled to be complete by the end of 2018. The hotel will feature some of St. Pete’s favorite local vendors to give guests a taste of what makes our city so unique. Oak & Stone, a self-serve craft beer and pizza restaurant is expected to open on the ground level of the hotel in December. More about Hyatt Place…

Another condo tower was announced for Downtown St. Pete in September. Bezu, a 16-story 29-unit complex will be built at the corner of 1st St. and 4th Ave N. Bezu will replace The Brownstones, a 4-unit development which was recently cancelled due to a lack of interest. Land owner Steve Gianfillipo owns other downtown destinations, such as the popular co-work space Station House, the Cordova Inn, and the Coronet Apartments. Recently, Ichicoro Ane, a Japanese-inspired eating and drinking den, was announced for first floor of Station House.
