Read MoreA St. Petersburg-based developer has filed plans to preserve a historically significant property fronting Mirror Lake and construct a seven-story condo building in downtown St. Pete.
The 0.47-acre site at 250 Mirror Lake Drive North is currently home to an 87-year-old building that will be restored and remain on site. A new two-story residence will be built on the northeast corner of the property and an 18-unit condo building will be constructed on the west side of the property on what is currently a vacant lot.
The developer, Backstreets Capital, has operated out of a 1920’s-era building across the street from the site at 248 Mirror Lake Drive for the past four years.
The existing two-story 1937-built building, while not listed on the local or national register of historic places, is adorned with a bronze plaque noting the building as being a “contributing structure of the downtown historic district.”
