Mastry's Brewing Co. to build massive mixed-use brewery in Pinellas Park’s City Center District
/
St. Pete Beach’s first craft brewery Mastry's Brewing Co. is expanding its operations with a new manufacturing hub in Pinellas Park, serving as a centerpiece for the city’s emerging City Center District.
Matthew Dahm, founder and CEO of Mastry's Brewery, alongside partner Robert Czysczon of Plaza Beach Resorts, plans to build a new 5,000-plus-square-foot beverage manufacturing operation and a 16,000-square-foot market at 5805 Park Boulevard.
The site redevelopment is a major stepping stone for Pinellas Park, which has long planned to establish a true "downtown" stretching across 15 city blocks. According to the 2050 comprehensive plan, the new City Center District will encompass a new City Hall, a Public Safety (law enforcement, fire and emergency services) facility, residential and commercial uses, and public parks.
