Boutique townhome community, SOMA, announced for 4th Avenue South in downtown St. Pete
/
Downtown St. Pete is set to see another luxury townhome development as the real estate market continues to see extraordinarily low inventory and strong buyer demand. Several projects in the downtown area have recently sold out including The Royal, a 13-unit townhome development on 4th Avenue South, and Six Point Row, a 19-unit townhome project on 1st Avenue North in the Grand Central District. This demand is fueling the need for more residential units at all price points.
Coming off the success of their last project, the team behind Driftwood on Central, an 11-unit sold-out mixed-use and townhome development that is currently under construction in the Grand Central District, has announced their latest project – SOMA.

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.”
