133-unit luxury condo project Corey Landing approved for St. Pete Beach

The long-anticipated redevelopment of the east end of Corey Avenue in St. Pete Beach is officially moving forward.

On Tuesday evening, City Commission unanimously approved revised plans for Corey Landing, a mixed-use development led by Kolter Urban which features two eight story buildings with 133 luxury condominiums, 11,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space within a freestanding building, and a new public park.

In 2022, the city approved a separate proposal from Ram Realty Advisors, also called Corey Landing.

Ram, which exited the project in 2023, had planned a 243-unit apartment complex with more than 17,000 square feet of retail, a restaurant, office space, and a 39-slip marina.

Kolter Urban acquired the property the following year for $9.85 million and expanded the site to include two adjacent parcels not part of Ram’s plan: the former Charlie’s Transmissions property at 75 Corey Avenue and the shuttered Blue Parrott restaurant at 85 Corey Circle. Both structures have since been demolished.

In March most of the renovation were completed.
