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.”

Contrary to recent reports, Jannus Live, the iconic open-air concert venue in downtown St. Petersburg, is not for sale and will continue operating, according to the property's owner.
The confusion began when a two-story, 10,500-square-foot commercial building at 200 1st Avenue North, immediately north of the courtyard music venue, was listed for sale for $11.5 million.
Although the two properties share a longstanding connection, they have separate owners.
The building listed for sale is owned by The Jannus Landing Retail Building, LLC, associated with local businessman Jeff Knight, while the courtyard concert venue is owned by St. Pete Jannus, LLC, led by Tony Amico.
"Jannus music venue is not for sale and will continue to operate," Amico said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “There may be a short pause due to a change of operators, but the music will continue.”
The distinction comes after several local publications reported that Jannus Live was being sold, raising concerns about the future of the courtyard that has hosted concerts in downtown St. Pete since 1984.
