The City of St. Petersburg has received an unsolicited offer to redevelop a city-owned lot in south St. Petersburg.
Green Mills Group, an affordable housing developer, and Advantage Village Academy, Inc., a not-for-profit organization founded and based in St. Petersburg, have partnered up to submit an offer to purchase a 2.1-acre site fronting 18th Avenue South at 21st Street. The team is proposing a 96-unit affordable housing project across from Tangerine Plaza.
Green Mills Group has previously developed two affordable housing developments in St. Pete’s Historic Kenwood neighborhood, Burlington Place, a 53-unit building at 3155 Burlington Avenue North which opened in 2017, and Burlington Post, an 86-unit building at 3201 Burlington Avenue North which opened in 2018.

A familiar Pinellas County doughnut shop is coming to South Pasadena.
Fray’s Donut House will open at 1200 Pasadena Avenue South, taking over the former Dunkin’ location just down the street from Ted Peters Famous Smoked Fish.
The shop is expected to open in January 2027.
Serey Siev, who will co-own and operate the shop with his wife, Phiny Long, purchased the building for $925,000, according to Pinellas County property records.
The building will receive mostly cosmetic updates before reopening, including the installation of Fray’s familiar white sign with red and black lettering.
The South Pasadena location will serve more than 30 types of doughnuts, from glazed, chocolate frosted, cinnamon sugar, Boston cream, rainbow sprinkle, and old fashioned varieties to cronuts, apple fritters, and éclairs.
The shop will also serve muffins, cinnamon rolls, breakfast sandwiches, espresso drinks, and drip coffee.
