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.

A new training center near the EDGE District wants to give runners and cyclists a reason to stick around after their workouts.
Orange Belt Collective is targeting a summer 2027 opening at 1501 Burlington Avenue North, combining endurance-focused fitness spaces with a public café, a grab-and-go market, and an outdoor gathering area.
For founders Michael Rideout and Nathan Stonecipher, the idea grew out of the CRIT Championship Tour, a bicycle race they helped bring to the EDGE District in 2023.
A group ride associated with the event brought hundreds of cyclists from different clubs, bike shops, and generations to Green Bench Brewing, filling Baum Avenue with bikes.
Afterward, people hung around to talk with riders they might otherwise have never met.
For Rideout, it was a welcome departure from the usual routine, when cyclists finish a group ride and head their separate ways.
