Developer seeks approval for 168-unit apartment community on 8th Avenue Southeast in Largo
/
A 168-unit affordable apartment community is planned for a portion of a 15.5-acre property in Largo, adjacent to another affordable housing project already underway on the site.
Tampa-based Southport Financial Services, working with Moore Bass Consulting, is seeking site plan approval from the City of Largo to build the complex at 800 8th Avenue Southeast, on the corner of 8th Avenue SE and Donegan Road.
The project, called Largo Station, would be built on 5.7 acres on the western portion of the property next to Allora, a 240-unit apartment community being developed by global real estate firm Trammell Crow Residential (TCR). The remainder of the property is occupied by Allora’s first phase. When both phases are complete, the site will have 408 apartments.
