Affordable housing community Delmar 745 opens in downtown St. Pete
/
Last week, excited families were given the keys to their new homes in a recently completed affordable apartment community located in downtown St. Pete.
Residents started moving into Delmar 745 on March 9th. The 12-story, 65-unit apartment community is located just five blocks from Central Avenue at 745 Delmar Terrace South.
“This project is a perfect example of affordable housing progress,” said St. Pete Mayor Ken Welch. “With units targeted toward working-class families and the formerly un-housed, this project truly provides opportunity to those who need it most.”

Two years after Hurricane Helene devastated Willy’s Burgers & Booze, the St. Pete Beach watering hole is preparing for a comeback.
The open-air bar and restaurant at 645 Corey Avenue announced recently that construction is beginning following a lengthy permitting process.
A reopening date has not been announced.
“The road back has been anything but easy,” the business shared on Facebook. “We have spent the past 14 months working through the permitting process, navigating delays and obstacles, and doing everything we can to make this day possible.”
“There have been times when the process felt overwhelming, but we have never lost sight of what Willy’s means to so many people,” the post continued.
Known for its burgers, affordable drinks, and laid-back, beachy atmosphere, Willy’s has been closed since the hurricanes of late 2024.
