86-unit affordable housing development proposed for Disston Heights in St. Pete
/
Palm Lake Christian Church, located at 5401 22nd Avenue North, wants to help answer the prayers of St. Petersburg residents who need affordable housing.
The church has submitted a proposal to the city that, if approved, would result in the construction of 86 new affordable housing units. The project consists of a three-story, concrete-and-block building that would contain 66 one-bedroom apartments and six two-bedroom units, as well as seven one-story, free-standing villas with each one containing two three-bedroom residences.
The 86 residential units would be built to LEED energy-efficiency standards, and the development’s amenities would include a community garden, electric vehicle charging stations, native landscaping, and 64 paved parking spaces.

Choosing between a savory pizza and dessert is not really a problem at Quintal Brasil Pizza.
The new Pinellas Park restaurant serves both as part of its all-you-can-eat Brazilian-style pizza experience.
Quintal Brasil Pizza opened last month at 6119 Park Boulevard, in the plaza shared with Quan Ngon Bistro, Fat Cat Pizza & Dogs, and beangood coffee.
The restaurant is owned by Ray and Kaline Barreto, who also operate Brazilian pub Boteco Bossa Nova and Wildlife Acaí & Café in the same plaza.
Brazilian pizza is known for its thin crust, light layer of sauce, and toppings that may be less familiar to American pizza diners.
Quintal’s menu includes familiar pizzas like a Margherita with mozzarella, basil, and tomato, alongside Brazilian-style options such as the Portuguesa, topped with ham, hard-boiled eggs, onions, bell peppers, and olives.
