St. Pete City Council approved a revised development agreement for a proposed mixed-use waterfront project on Gandy Boulevard that increases the number of residential units in the project.

In late 2021, developer Key Gandy LLC, a subsidiary of Miami-based Key International, announced a mixed-use proposal with 376 residences on a 39-acre parcel at 12000 Gandy Boulevard North, near the intersection with Snug Harbor Road. The development was approved earlier this year.

The project also includes a waterfront restaurant and marina with both wet and dry slips, some of which will be available to the public.

On Monday, The St Pete Community Planning and Preservation Commission (CPPC) unanimously approved amendments to a mixed-use development agreement that would bring residential units, a restaurant, and a public marina to Snug Harbor.

The currently vacant, 39-acre property is south of Gandy Blvd and East of San Fernando Blvd NE and consists of three combined parcels known as Gandy Center, Pirates Cove, and Riviera.

The original development agreement, approved in 2009, outlined plans to build 120 apartment units, a commercial marina with 45 wet slips, 72,000 square feet of retail space, and three restaurants comprising 21,000 square feet on the northern portion of the property, along with 256 single family or townhome residential units and 225 private docks on the southern parcel.
