Nearly three years after it first acquired the 1.6-acre site for $12.1 million — and two years after revising its plans in response to business and community stakeholders — Belpointe has broken ground on a $70 million, 15-story mixed-use development at 1000 1st Avenue North in downtown St. Petersburg’s EDGE District.

“We are thrilled that construction is underway on this exciting new project in St. Petersburg,” said Belpointe OZ’s CEO, Brandon Lacoff. “This development will offer residents the perfect blend of luxury and convenience, with easy access to shopping, dining, and entertainment options. We are excited to see this project come to life and to contribute to the growth and development of the St. Petersburg community.”

St. Pete City Council greenlighted the project, located at the southwest corner of 1st Avenue North and Dr. MLK Jr. Street, just west of the Engine No. 9 restaurant, in December 2022.

A new multifamily building has been proposed for the EDGE District in downtown St. Pete.

In October 2020, Belpointe, which invests in opportunity zones, closed on 1.6 acres at 1000 1st Avenue North for $12 million. The site is currently home to two small vacant office buildings, two surface parking lots and the former Shirley Ann Hotel, which has been vacant for three years.

Belpointe has announced plans for a development tentatively being referred to as 1000 1st Avenue North featuring two, 11-story apartment towers with a combined 256 rental units. The residential buildings will sit atop a four-story, pedestrian base that features 23,000 square feet of ground floor retail and 4,400 square feet of space for a leasing office and two resident lobbies.
