Construction is set to begin on the latest condominium tower to join downtown St. Petersburg’s growing skyline.

Last week, the developers of The Julia, a 19-story condominium tower planned for 100 4th Avenue North, kicked off site preparations and construction activity with a groundbreaking ceremony. 

The Julia is being co-developed by the Francis Family, which is led by seasoned real estate developer Peter Francis, and Robert Sherman from MBA development. The condominium tower is named after Francis’ 13-year-old daughter Julia, one of his four children.
