40 new townhomes coming to Pinellas Park from D.R. Horton
/
A vacant stretch of land in the heart of Pinellas Park is slated to become a 40-unit townhome development.
National homebuilder D.R. Horton, in partnership with St. Pete-based HP Capital Group, is moving forward with a new project called Townes at Island Lake, located at 4210 78th Avenue North.
The 2.76-acre property sits near the intersection of 78th Avenue North and US 19, close to Ashley Furniture and Walmart Supercenter.
HP Capital Group recently completed the horizontal development of the townhome lots and has handed them over to D.R. Horton to begin vertical construction.

Contrary to recent reports, Jannus Live, the iconic open-air concert venue in downtown St. Petersburg, is not for sale and will continue operating, according to the property's owner.
The confusion began when a two-story, 10,500-square-foot commercial building at 200 1st Avenue North, immediately north of the courtyard music venue, was listed for sale for $11.5 million.
Although the two properties share a longstanding connection, they have separate owners.
The building listed for sale is owned by The Jannus Landing Retail Building, LLC, associated with local businessman Jeff Knight, while the courtyard concert venue is owned by St. Pete Jannus, LLC, led by Tony Amico.
"Jannus music venue is not for sale and will continue to operate," Amico said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “There may be a short pause due to a change of operators, but the music will continue.”
The distinction comes after several local publications reported that Jannus Live was being sold, raising concerns about the future of the courtyard that has hosted concerts in downtown St. Pete since 1984.
