November 09, 2021/ Anthony Close

The latest edition of Aerial St. Pete shows the latest progress on several downtown developments. Aerial St. Pete is a quarterly column by St. Pete Rising which features exclusive aerial photography of projects under construction in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. To accomplish this, we team up with Anthony Bove at AB3 Visuals.

This quarter we are taking a look at six projects in downtown St. Pete which have all broken ground in the past year. These include: 334 Apartments, 357 Apartments, Ascent St. Petersburg, Domus Urbana, Saltiare, and The Metro.

Construction will soon begin on a new multi-unit apartment building with retail space at 357 5th Street South in downtown St. Pete that will have minimal parking as a result of recent changes to development regulations.

The five-story, $5 million project, developed by 357 5th Street South LLC and designed by Place Architecture, will consist of 25 residential units, including three studio units and 22 one-bedroom units that range in size from 597 to 738 square feet, as well as a rooftop terrace and 727 square feet of retail space for one retailer to occupy on the first floor. LEMA Construction, a St. Pete-based general contractor who has become a market leader for infill projects like 357 Apartments, will build the project.
