2,084-unit Sky Town begins vertical construction on first apartments in St. Pete
/
Vertical construction has commenced on the first phase of apartments at Sky Town, a planned $800 million mixed-use development at 3201 34th Street South in the Skyway Marina District.
The 34.3-acre site, once home to the Ceridian office campus, is being redeveloped in six phases to include 2,084 apartments, 69,000 square feet of retail anchored by a 23,000-square-foot Sprouts Farmers Market, and 120,000 square feet of self-storage.
It is the largest project currently in development in St. Pete, based on acreage and number of units.
The Sprouts Farmers Market, now nearing completion, sits along the east side of the property and will serve as the gateway to the future redevelopment. A 4,500-square-foot retail outparcel fronting 34th Street South is also under construction.

Demolition work has begun at the former Tampa Bay Times building at 490 1st Avenue South in downtown St. Petersburg, nearly two years after a construction crane collapsed into the property during Hurricane Milton.
Crews are currently completing interior, non-structural demolition and asbestos abatement, according to City of St. Petersburg permit records.
The eight-story, 240,000-square-foot complex consists of three buildings, with the original structure built in 1924 and additions completed in 1968 and 1988.
Naples-based Stock Development purchased the former Times building in June for $18 million.
The developer plans to redevelop the site with a high-rise condominium tower that could also include ground-floor commercial space and offices.
