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.

Just in time for Halloween, a 1939 bungalow in the Central Oak Park neighborhood will become a new home for St. Petersburg’s paranormal activity.
Dr. Brandy Stark, founder of Spirits of St. Petersburg, will soft open the Museum of Haunted History at 4754 1st Avenue North on Friday and Saturday, October 23 and 24, from 6 to 9 p.m.
The museum will display haunted and historic objects, including a wedding dress associated with a spirit named Irene, antiques, dolls, and artifacts from the group’s past investigations.
It will also include a spiritual apothecary and space for psychic readings, workshops, meetings, and future overnight investigations.
Stark has been investigating paranormal activity since 1997. She has led local ghost tours, investigated hundreds of cases, and written Supernatural St. Petersburg and Paranormal Pinellas Vol. 1 & 2.
“I’ve always wanted to present the supernatural in a manner that, number one, is safe, number two, is educational, and number three, is a little bit of fun,” Stark said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising.
