According to the St.Petersburg Tribune, the Development Review Comission(DRC) approved a 16 story, 72 unit condo tower slated to be built on 145 4th Ave N in Downtown St.Petersburg.

The $40 million project would have 13 residential floors above a three floor parking garage.

Many neighborhood associations opposed the proposed project because they believe it is too large for the historic neighborhood.  However, the Walker Whitney Plaza condo tower is less than a block away and is of similar size with 56 units on 13 floors.
