New mixed-use tower being planned for site of 12-story office building in downtown St. Pete
/
A prime parcel in downtown St. Petersburg could soon be redeveloped, according to a notice sent to tenants of the City Center office building at 100 2nd Avenue South.
The 12-story office building is owned through a joint venture by City Office REIT, Feldman Equities, and Tower Realty Partners. The owners recently announced plans for a multi-million dollar renovation to City Center’s atrium lobby, entrances, and landscaping.
The 242,115-square-foot Class A office building sits on nearly a full city block fronting 2nd Avenue South between 1st Street and 2nd Street. The parcel is located in Downtown Center-1 (DC-1) zoning which allows for intense mixed-use development and a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 7.0 with no height restrictions.

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.
