A new townhome community has been proposed near Snug Harbor off Gandy Boulevard in north St. Petersburg.
Appropriately named the Snug Harbor Townhomes, the five-unit project is being developed by Integrity Investments Group, a Maryland-based real estate investment firm, at 10701 Snug Harbor Road Northeast.
Each townhome will be four stories with over 3,800 square feet of living space. The homes will each have three bedrooms and three bathrooms along with a bonus room and two-car garage.

St. Petersburg will test a new plant-based approach to managing stormwater as part of a $7 million project coming to one of the city’s most flood-prone areas.
The city will install eight HydroPlanters, which are modular rain gardens designed to slow and filter rain runoff before it enters the city’s stormwater system.
Each rain garden is about five feet long, three feet wide, and two-and-a-half feet deep.
Filled with specially designed soil, grasses, shrubs, and small trees, the boxes will be installed in an L-shaped configuration along a city-owned grassy area near the intersection of 50th Avenue North and 7th Street North.
During heavy rain, water from the street will flow into the planters and filter through the soil and vegetation. It will then drain into the city’s stormwater system and eventually the 54th Avenue Canal.
