9-Story Apartments to Break Ground in Downtown St. Pete This Month

9-Story Apartments to Break Ground in Downtown St. Pete This Month

Yesterday, St. Pete Rising broke the news of a proposal for a 22-story luxury apartment tower at the former Onyx nightclub site in Downtown St. Pete. Today, directly west of that block, there is another proposal for a 9-story luxury rental building being developed by The NRP Group.

The NRP Group is no stranger to Downtown St. Pete. They also developed Beacon 430, which is one block south of this project. In September 2015, Beacon 430 sold for $84.5 million —  which works out to around $259,000 per apartment at the 324-unit property.

St.Pete "Pocket Projects"

St.Pete "Pocket Projects"

Pocket parks are small parks that are accessible to the public, but they are usually very tiny in comparison to larger parks (think Central Park). However, despite their size, they can create a network of green space to help enhance neighborhoods and communities. I see smaller real estate developments the same way. These so-called "pocket projects" can enhance urban corridors and revitalize neighborhoods. Because many pocket projects lack the size and scale of larger developments they usually receive less publicity, but I think they are just as important. While there's no definition of what makes a development a "pocket project" I'm going to share a few local developments I would consider pocket projects that you may not have heard about.
