Four-story boutique hotel planned for Pass-a-Grille in St. Pete Beach
/A new boutique hotel has been proposed for a waterfront property on Pass-a-Grille in St. Pete Beach.
Local developer DevMar Development, which has built several projects in St. Pete, is seeking site plan approval from the City of St. Pete Beach to construct a four-story, 17-unit hotel called Helios at 702 Pass-a-Grille Way.
The 0.35-acre property is currently home to a small one-bedroom short-term rental, which would be demolished to make way for the new development.
All 17 units will feature two bedrooms and range from 909 to 1,112 square feet, more than twice the size of a typical hotel room.

Madeira Beach’s longtime grocery store is reopening this week in a new format.
Aldi will debut this Thursday, September 24th, at 15200 Municipal Drive in Carter Plaza, across from Archibald Beach Park and R.O.C. Park.
The store replaces the former Winn-Dixie, which closed last year after more than 50 years in business. The Municipal Drive store was built in 1975 and had operated as a Winn-Dixie ever since.
Winn-Dixie Liquors will remain open.
To mark the grand opening, the first 200 customers in line Thursday will receive a bag of branded items and a “golden ticket,” an Aldi gift card worth up to $100. Employees will also distribute free Aldi shopping totes throughout the day.
The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
