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.
