619-unit Alton Skyway apartments approved for SPC’s Allstate Campus in the Skyway Marina District
/
Despite facing opposition from area developers and others, a 17.25-acre property in south St. Pete is expected to become a new 619-unit apartment community.
On Wednesday, the St. Petersburg Development Review Commission ultimately approved a site plan from Delray Beach–based Kolter Multifamily to build Alton Skyway, a luxury garden-style apartment development at 3200 34th Street South.
The approval passed with a 5-1 vote, with DRC member Joseph Griner casting the lone opposing vote.
The property, owned by St. Petersburg College, includes several educational buildings that will be demolished to make way for Alton Skyway, a two-phase development featuring eight five-story buildings and neighborhood-scale retail.

Choosing between a savory pizza and dessert is not really a problem at Quintal Brasil Pizza.
The new Pinellas Park restaurant serves both as part of its all-you-can-eat Brazilian-style pizza experience.
Quintal Brasil Pizza opened last month at 6119 Park Boulevard, in the plaza shared with Quan Ngon Bistro, Fat Cat Pizza & Dogs, and beangood coffee.
The restaurant is owned by Ray and Kaline Barreto, who also operate Brazilian pub Boteco Bossa Nova and Wildlife Acaí & Café in the same plaza.
Brazilian pizza is known for its thin crust, light layer of sauce, and toppings that may be less familiar to American pizza diners.
Quintal’s menu includes familiar pizzas like a Margherita with mozzarella, basil, and tomato, alongside Brazilian-style options such as the Portuguesa, topped with ham, hard-boiled eggs, onions, bell peppers, and olives.
