May 16, 2024/ Veronica Brezina

The first residents have started moving into Park & Main, the recently completed 17-story luxury apartment complex in north St. Petersburg’s emerging Echelon City Center.

First announced in the early 2000s, Echelon City Center is a 20.5-acre mixed-use project being developed in the Carillon Office Park by St. Pete-based real estate company Echelon.

Park & Main is the newest residential building to open in the neighborhood at 221 Main Street North.

At 187 feet tall, the 176-unit apartment tower is one of the tallest buildings in St. Petersburg outside of downtown.

South Florida-based general contractor KAST Construction broke ground on the building in 2022.

A new residential tower has been proposed for Echelon City Center in St. Pete’s Gateway area.

Echelon City Center is a master-planned mixed-use development being built by Echelon, a St. Petersburg-based real estate company. Announced in the early 2000s, the community will have residential units, office space, a hotel, and ground-floor retail. However, plans for the development have changed over time.

The proposed 17-story tower is planned for a 1.88-acre site, dubbed “Site 9”, that sits between two recently completed multifamily developments – Waterview and Axio at Carillon.
