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.

Golden Corral is returning to Pinellas County with plans for its first St. Pete restaurant inside the former Hooters at Tyrone Square Mall.
The popular American all-you-eat buffet chain will open at 2250 Tyrone Boulevard, according to plans submitted to the City of St. Petersburg. An opening date has not yet been announced.
The 8,105-square-foot restaurant will take over the building where Hooters operated for 15 years, from 2006 until late 2021. At the time, the chain cited changes in shopping habits and declining mall foot traffic in announcing the closure.
The new Golden Corral will be operated by franchisee Britt Guyer, who owns Golden Corral restaurants in Winter Haven and downtown Tampa. Guyer was not immediately available for comment.
