35-story apartment tower planned near the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement in downtown St. Pete
/
An Atlanta-based developer has proposed a 35-story apartment tower adjacent to the Museum of the American Arts and Crafts Movement in downtown St. Pete, according to a site plan modification application recently submitted to the City of St. Pete.
The $100 million project, which would rise on a parcel located on the corner of 3rd Avenue North and 3rd Street North, will feature 348 apartments, 2,203 square feet of commercial space, and a 277-space parking garage. Parking for 370 bikes will also be provided.
The 375-foot tower will offer one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments ranging from 650 square feet to 1,388 square feet. The residential lobby entrance will be located off 3rd Street North.

St. Petersburg will test a new plant-based approach to managing stormwater as part of a $7 million project coming to one of the city’s most flood-prone areas.
The city will install eight HydroPlanters, which are modular rain gardens designed to slow and filter rain runoff before it enters the city’s stormwater system.
Each rain garden is about five feet long, three feet wide, and two-and-a-half feet deep.
Filled with specially designed soil, grasses, shrubs, and small trees, the boxes will be installed in an L-shaped configuration along a city-owned grassy area near the intersection of 50th Avenue North and 7th Street North.
During heavy rain, water from the street will flow into the planters and filter through the soil and vegetation. It will then drain into the city’s stormwater system and eventually the 54th Avenue Canal.
