Vertical construction has begun on a new infill housing development in St. Petersburg’s Euclid St. Paul neighborhood.

St. Petersburg-based Backstreets Capital and Canopy Builders are developing Canopy Oaks, a nine-unit community at 1920 Dr. MLK Jr. Street North that will feature six luxury townhomes, two villas, and one single-family residence.

In having three styles of residences, the developer hopes the project appeals to different types of buyers.
