Eight-unit luxury condo development slated for Tierra Verde waterfront
/
One of the last vacant multifamily lots in Tierra Verde is being developed by Tom Rodgers and Gym Wilson, longtime business partners who, beginning in 1997, have developed more than 150 waterfront homes in St. Pete Beach, Tierra Verde, and Treasure Island. Their portfolio also includes beachfront custom homes, as well as retail and marina projects.
Located at 455 Pinellas Bayway South, the gated Quiet Cove Tierra Verde community is under construction and expected to be ready for occupancy in summer 2023.
“The developers are quite well known, with previous success stories like Sunset Watch and Hidden Lagoon on Tierra Verde and Boca Sands on St. Pete Beach,” says Blanka Prusova White, sales director at Century 21 Coast Alliance, the agency handling sales of Quiet Cove’s eight units, all of which are accessed via a semi-private elevator and offer marina and Gulf of Mexico views.

For years, The Joint’s patio had the bones of a great outdoor hangout: space to sit, a neighborhood crowd, and the kind of laid-back setting that feels made for a cold beer and a game on TV.
What it did not have was much protection from Florida’s sun and rain.
That is about to change. The Joint, the longtime Jungle Terrace tavern at 7630 34th Avenue North, has added a covered patio, an outdoor bar, fans, and seven TVs.
Owners Ben Scherlis and Francesco “Fran” Balzano expect to welcome customers into the new space later this month, although an opening date has not yet been finalized.
“We just wanted to open this space up and make it a whole new outdoor concept where people can sit outside, order food and drinks, and watch TV, same as you could inside,” Scherlis said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “It’s just giving people another option.”
