The Manhattan

A Florida not-for-profit group is leading the development of a new active senior living community in St. Pete's Skyway Marina District.

Convivial Life, an organization based in Venice, Florida that manages senior living communities, has acquired a 5.25-acre property at 4595 34th Street South that was slated to be the future home of The Manhattan, a new senior living development.

Convivial Life purchased the property in a roughly $21.365 million deal from Sarasota-based LifeStar Living.

The Manhattan, a future active senior living community, has begun taking reservations for its 111 condo-style residences.

Neighboring the Gulf of Mexico and Boca Ciega Bay, this membership-based community will be situated in the heart of St. Pete’s Skyway Marina District at 4595 34th Street South.

The 5.25-acre property will be home for retirees who value boutique-like experiences, expansive indoor and outdoor amenities, and access to personalized wellness services and healthcare should the need ever arise.

The Manhattan, which was first announced in May, is being developed by LifeStar Living, a Sarasota-based company that specializes in developing and managing upscale, resort-style senior living communities.

A new active senior living community is coming soon to the Skyway Marina District. On April 30th, Sarasota-based LifeStar Living closed on a 5.25-acre property at 4595 34th Street South for $9 million. The site is currently home to a self-storage facility and an Ace Hardware.

“We are very excited about closing on this prized location in St. Petersburg,” says LifeStar President and CEO Joel Anderson. “The Skyway Marina District is situated within so many convenient lifestyle opportunities that make St. Petersburg a special place to live, and a perfect location for LifeStar’s flagship property.”

The first phase of the Manhattan is estimated to cost $125 million and will be comprised of over 80 condo-style homes with modern coastal finishes. Each unit will include 1,050 to 2,600 square feet of living space.
