Reclaim Threads opens store in Warehouse Arts District  

Reclaim Threads, a retailer selling curated vintage clothing at pop-up events, has opened a new storefront in St. Pete.

The owner recently opened their doors inside an 8,080-square-foot, multi-tenant warehouse at 615 27th Street South in Suite D.

"For the last six years we have been collecting vintage clothing, creating one-of-a-kind upcycled garments, and traveling the country selling our designs at music festivals. You may have shopped with us at Localtopia or seen us at a local music event. Now you can shop with us at our new location in the Warehouse Arts District," owners Emma Charles and Marissa Baker wrote in a Facebook post.

"This is something we have wanted for a very long time."

The fashion designers opened the business with the mission to reduce waste through reusing/recycling/refurbishing vintage pieces.

The shop carries funky casualwear to high-end designer/formalwear.

The store is open Thursday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Mark Savarese Jr., Director of Multifamily Investment Sales at Franklin Street, said the team executed a deal for the seller through a competitive process, receiving over 15 written offers.

Clearwater apartments sell for over $28 million

The Enclave at Northwood in Clearwater, a 188-unit luxury apartment community, has sold for $28.25 million.

The apartments, located at 2690 Enterprise Road East, were built in two phases adjacent across from each other next to the 20-acre Clearwater Enterprise Dog Park.

New Jersey-based SELA Realty Investment purchased the complex from SITRE Clearwater LLC, which acquired the community in 2021 for $39 million.

The Enclave at Northwood, built in 1984, has one- and two-story concrete block buildings with one-, two-, and three-bedroom units ranging from 811 to 1,588 square feet.

The apartments have quartz countertops, vinyl plank flooring, vaulted ceilings, stainless steel appliances, fireplaces, and screened terraces or balconies.

Residential amenities include a fitness center, two pools, a lighted tennis court, and a clubhouse.

Northmarq’s Tampa Investment Sales team of Luis Elorza, managing director, Justin Hofford, associate vice president, and associate Kevin Mosher arranged the sale.

“SELA was attracted to this opportunity due to its highly infill location within the high-income residential Northwood neighborhood in Clearwater,” Mosher said in a prepared statement.

"New ownership plans to hold the asset long-term, benefitting from its strong tenant profile and unique construction style, making it a desirable residential investment that checks all the buyer’s boxes.”

SELLA is a family-owned investment and property management firm with properties in New Jersey and Florida.

The buyer took out a $31.5 million mortgage from Raymond James Bank.
