8-unit townhome community planned for 14th Street in downtown St. Pete

Local developer Jeff Craft with Tampa Bay City Living has cleared multiple parcels near St. Pete's EDGE District for his latest project - a new upscale townhome community. 

Amid a spur of new developments breaking ground on the 14th Street corridor, Craft plans to build an eight-unit townhome complex at 364 14th Street North. 

"This is what we do - we follow certain developments happening in these pocket areas and build townhomes speculatively," Craft said to St. Pete Rising. 

Craft, who resides in the Crescent Heights neighborhood with his wife, has developed over 700 townhomes in Tampa Bay, including the newly built townhome community, The District on 9th.
