Massive 2,084-unit apartment community, Sprouts Farmers Market to break ground in the Skyway Marina District

A pile of concrete and rebar is all that remains on one end of the former 380,000-square-foot Ceridian office park in St. Petersburg's Skyway Marina District where a new master-planned community will soon rise.

Coral Gables-based real estate company Altis Cardinal is redeveloping the 34.2-acre site at 3102 34th Street South into a new $500 million mixed-use destination - now called Sky Town.

Altis Cardinal purchased the property in December 2021 for $40 million.

Today, over half of the buildings at the former office park are demolished, and construction crews are preparing to bulldoze another building to make way for the future development.

Last week, the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership released its 2024 Development Guide, an annual resource tool providing a snapshot of the latest economic and commercial activity to encourage public and private stakeholders to spur healthy growth.

"St. Pete wasn’t always a vibrant city with intentional development," Mayor Ken Welch said during the partnership's Development Summit hosted at The St. Pete Distillery on Tuesday, February 27th.
