A mixed-use high-rise outfitted with smart technology is coming soon to Downtown St Pete. The Blake, which aims to be LEED Silver certified, will feature advanced energy and safety innovations designed to appeal to working professional home-owners in a post-Covid world and will replace the former Masonic Temple building at 114 4th Street South.
The $40,000,000 project, developed by Blake Investment Partners and designed by architects Antunovich Associates, will consist of 20 floors, including 16 residential floors above a four-floor base that includes three levels of parking, commercial space, and lobby on the ground floor.

After years of planning, Craft Kafe is targeting an early October opening for a new cafe and commissary kitchen in St. Pete’s Skyway Marina District.
The homegrown eatery and bakery, known for specialty coffee and a scratch-made gluten-free menu, is putting the finishing touches on its third St. Pete cafe at 4725 34th Street South in the Marina Village shopping plaza, just south of the Marina Walk Apartments.
The 4,700-square-foot space will include a 1,000-square-foot cafe and a large production kitchen designed to supply Craft’s existing stores and support future expansion, according to the owners.
“We’ve planned this one month after opening our first store in St. Pete. Because of the pandemic, issues in logistics, and losing my home from the hurricanes, this has taken so long to open,” founder and owner Teddy Skiadiotis told St. Pete Rising during a private tour.
