Read MoreThe St. Petersburg City Council, acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency, has approved preliminary plans for the 49-story Waldorf Astoria Residences at 150 2nd Avenue South in downtown St. Petersburg.
The council unanimously voted to advance the project, following discussions on hurricane preparedness, crane safety protocols, and pushback from residents of the neighboring Saltaire condo tower. These concerns were highlighted by a recent crane collapse at the nearby 46-story Residences at 400 Central construction site.
The Waldorf Astoria Residences will be St. Petersburg’s first hotel-branded luxury condominium, offering 164 residential units. The development will also feature approximately 63,251 square feet of Class A office space and 14,398 square feet of ground-floor retail.

Brewed Awakening’s, known for its fun flavors and infused coffee cocktails, has opened inside Cybel, a new French Moroccan restaurant, at 2735 5th Avenue North.
“Brewed Awakening’s at Cybel feels more like a cocktail experience than a coffee bar,” Brewed Awakening’s Owner Chris Zamora said to St. Pete Rising. “We do not have an espresso machine. All of our cold brews are bottled, and we are using cocktail shakers for our made-to-order drinks.”

Members will enjoy free WiFi, complimentary coffee from St. Pete-based Look Alive Coffee, free bagels from Pete’s every Friday, and discounts on events and space rentals.
“I have always wanted to open a diner,” Peterman said to St. Pete Rising. “But this space isn’t really set up for a restaurant.”
