Read MoreLocal developer Stoneweg US is putting the finishing touches on a mixed-income apartment community situated east of Lake Maggiore in south St. Pete.
The Lake Maggiore Apartments, located at 825 32nd Avenue South, feature 330 rental apartments, including 14 townhomes with units starting at $1,433.
The community, which is expected to fully open in August, will consist of seven garden-style apartment buildings, two townhome-style buildings, a pool, an outdoor amenity area, a clubhouse with a community room, and a leasing office.
The project, which broke ground in 2022, was developed by Stoneweg US, a St. Pete-based investment firm specializing in multifamily development and acquisitions, and is the same group redeveloping Coquina Key Plaza.

As the sun was setting Tuesday evening, Miramar Resort owner Kevin Bowden walked around the hotel property at 4200 Gulf Boulevard, pointing out to residents and community stakeholders where a new seven-story 30-unit building will rise just behind the towering dunes shielding the resort.
"Guests want new beds and bathrooms, but want the resort to still have that same historic feeling," said Bowden, who also owns the Cambria Hotel on Madeira Beach.

Named Junction Townhomes, the complex will feature two duplexes and two triplexes encircling a lush, landscaped courtyard.
"We are trying to be mindful of the neighborhood and limit the townhomes to two stories instead of three," stated Grace Johnson, Principal at Heron Properties, in an interview with St. Pete Rising.
Read MoreThe haunting stories of the systematic murder of millions of Europe's Jews during the Second World War will continue to be shared on a larger scale thanks to an expansion of The Florida Holocaust Museum in St. Petersburg.
Friday morning, state legislators and supporters took turns signing a steel beam, symbolizing the topping-out of the first phase of construction that will bring a new entrance and exhibit space for the museum at 55 5th Street South in downtown St. Pete.
"The expansion project demonstrates that we are as strong as ever and expanding at a time when the lessons of the Holocaust have never been more important," Interim CEO Michael Igel said to attendees while standing at the active construction site.
