First workforce housing development filed under the Live Local Act in Largo nears completion
/
Global real estate firm Trammell Crow Residential is nearing completion of a new 240-unit luxury apartment community in Largo.
Caspia is being constructed on a 9.5-acre property at 705 Redbud Lane near the corner of 8th Avenue SE and Donegan Road.
The community, which is expected to launch preleasing soon, will contain a mix of affordable and market rate housing.
40% of the units will be reserved for households earning at or below 120% of the area median income (AMI), or roughly $68,400 annually in the City of Largo, while the remaining apartments will be rented at market rates.
Groundbreaking on the development began in 2024. Construction is now nearing completion.

For years, The Joint’s patio had the bones of a great outdoor hangout: space to sit, a neighborhood crowd, and the kind of laid-back setting that feels made for a cold beer and a game on TV.
What it did not have was much protection from Florida’s sun and rain.
That is about to change. The Joint, the longtime Jungle Terrace tavern at 7630 34th Avenue North, has added a covered patio, an outdoor bar, fans, and seven TVs.
Owners Ben Scherlis and Francesco “Fran” Balzano expect to welcome customers into the new space later this month, although an opening date has not yet been finalized.
“We just wanted to open this space up and make it a whole new outdoor concept where people can sit outside, order food and drinks, and watch TV, same as you could inside,” Scherlis said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “It’s just giving people another option.”
