Former Tampa Bay Times printing plant to be redeveloped with apartments and townhomes in North Kenwood

A major redevelopment is coming to North Kenwood, where the former Tampa Bay Times printing plant once buzzed with activity for over 60 years.

Dallas-based real estate firm Crow Holdings, founded in 1948 by legendary developer Trammell Crow, has filed plans to build a 392-unit garden-style apartment complex at 1301 34th Street North just south of Sam’s Club.

The plans, submitted on Monday to the Southwest Florida Water Management District, call for six four-story apartment buildings, a clubhouse, and 577 surface parking spaces.

The property went under contract on July 1st, according to CoStar.

Since all three parcels are zoned Industrial Suburban (IS), residential development would only be allowed through the Live Local Act or Section 17.5 of St. Petersburg’s land development regulations. Both options require that at least 40% of the residential units be set aside as affordable housing for households earning up to 120% of the Area Median Income (AMI).

Lake Maggiore Apartments to remove community garden, downsize dog park for more parking

When the Lake Maggiore Apartments opened last year, the south St. Pete community promoted itself as a luxury, eco-conscious development with the city’s first edible urban garden.

Now, the lush garden and much of the adjacent dog park will be demolished to make way for additional parking on the western side of the 330-unit community at 825 32nd Avenue South.

St. Pete-based development firm Stoneweg U.S. has filed plans to add nearly 100 new parking spaces in response to ongoing parking issues since the property's opening.

The development currently offers 358 parking spaces, which exceeds the City of St. Pete’s required 293 spaces.

Former Ed White Hospital conversion to 71-unit affordable senior housing community advances in North Kenwood

The St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) is expected to begin construction on the second phase of an extensive renovation to the former Edward White Hospital, converting the building into a 71-unit affordable housing complex for seniors, thanks to recently approved funding.

Last Thursday, the St. Petersburg City Council approved $8.9 million in funding for the $42.5 million project underway at 2323 9th Avenue North in North Kenwood.

The funding includes $6.9 million from Penny for Pinellas, of which $3 million was previously approved, and $2 million in HOME funds.

In 2022, the project was awarded $5.9 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding, however those funds were rescinded in 2024 citing extensive project delays and reallocated to two other affordable housing projects—Flats on 4th and Palm Lake Urban Sanctuary.

A Clearwater-based developer is moving forward with revised plans for a high-rise residential tower in downtown St. Pete, significantly altering a previously approved design.

The revised plan reimagines the project as a 29-story condominium tower with 165 residential units, 4,103 square feet of commercial space, and 103 parking spaces (83 in a parking garage and 20 surface spaces to the west of the tower).
