/
A mixed-use building has been proposed for 16th Street outside of downtown St. Petersburg.
TRB Development, which recently announced plans for a 7-unit townhome project in Woodlawn, has announced an apartment building at 821 16th Street on a site which was previously home to a legal office.
TRB Development is owned by Trevor Burgess and Jon Carlon. Burgess currently serves as CEO of Neptune Flood, a St. Pete-based digital flood insurance company. Carlon serves as President of TRB Development. Both previously worked at C1 Bank where Burgess served as CEO and Carlon served as Chief of Staff.

A popular Indian Rocks Beach seafood restaurant will close Sunday for a complete reconstruction of its waterfront building.
Monstah Lobstah, located at 125 Gulf Boulevard, will serve its final customers on September 6th before closing Monday, September 7th. The existing 5,605-square-foot building will be demolished and rebuilt from the ground up.
The building, which housed JD’s Restaurant & Lounge for nearly 40 years, sustained damage during the back-to-back hurricanes of 2024. Rather than continue repairing the aging building, Monstah Lobstah’s parent company, Crabby Bill’s Family Brands, has decided to replace it.
“The reality is that we are operating in an aging coastal building that continues to need significant repairs and remains vulnerable to flooding, future storms, and additional damage,” ownership wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week.
“After a lot of evaluation and conversations with our contractor and architects, it became clear that continuing to repair and protect the existing structure would keep us in a cycle of temporary fixes without addressing the bigger issue,” the post continued.
