Two towers on the horizon in downtown St. Pete could contribute to a housing surge, potentially exceeding 500 units

Preliminary approval has been granted by St. Petersburg officials for two residential towers set to introduce over 500 units to the urban core.

During a meeting of the St. Petersburg City Council, acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency, unanimous support was extended to two projects on Thursday. These developments encompass residential units, commercial space, and parking garages. Notably, Councilmembers Gina Driscoll, Richie Floyd, and Copley Gerdes were not in attendance.
