Miramar Beach Resort expansion, rooftop restaurant approved in St. Pete Beach
/
A new 30-unit hotel tower is expected to rise at the Miramar Beach Resort, transforming the property along St. Pete Beach’s shoreline.
During a Tuesday St. Pete Beach planning board meeting, the members unanimously voted to support a conditional use approval (CUP) for the redevelopment and expansion of the resort at 4200 Gulf Boulevard.
The existing two-story, two-building resort, which has been a staple since 1953, would demolish 10 of the existing hotel units in favor of a new 76-foot hotel building at the rear of the site just behind the towering sand dunes.

A 31-acre office property along McCann Lake has received preliminary approval for what would become the largest apartment community in Pinellas Park, with 552 units, including at least 221 affordable apartments.
City staff approved the preliminary site plan on September 30th for 10222 MCI Drive in the Gateway Centre Business Park.
The two-phase development would replace an office campus with nine four-story apartment buildings, two clubhouses, pickleball courts, and 847 parking spaces.
The apartment proposal relies on Florida’s Live Local Act, which allows residential development on the industrially zoned property, provided that at least 40% of the apartments, or at least 221 units, are reserved for households earning at or below 120% of the area median income for a minimum of 30 years.
The remaining 331 apartments would be leased at market rates.
Plans call for apartments ranging from studios to three-bedroom units. All nine residential buildings would rise four stories, with a maximum height of 50 feet.
