St. Petersburg-based J Square Developers and Backstreets Capital have announced a new mixed-use townhome project on Central Avenue in west St. Petersburg.

Named Strum Place, the development will be planned for Central Avenue and 64th Street and is being named after The Strum family, one of the pioneering families of west St. Petersburg who built the existing two-story house on the site in 1924. The developers purchased the 0.84-acre site in December 2022 for $1.45 million.

Strum Place will feature nine three-story townhomes, each with three bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms along with a two-car garage. The homes will feature 2,040 square feet and pricing will start in the $700,000’s.
