St. Petersburg just keeps getting better. Why don’t you let us show you around?
“Of all the Gulf Coast cities that have aspired to create live/work/play environments in their cores, St. Petersburg has become a model, encouraging residential development and entertainment options alongside traditional offices and government uses. The result has been a 24-hour city with some 2,500 new residential units built or unveiled in the past three years, vibrant restaurants and craft brew pubs, new and reinvigorated retail offerings like a Publix Super Markets-anchored center and the upscale Sundial complex — home to Locale Market, a Muvico theater, Ruth’s Chris Steak House and merchants like Jackie Z Style Co. and Tommy Bahama — and flourishing cultural amenities from a pro soccer team to museums.
Like One, of the new projects planned or under construction, half are mixed-use hybrids that marry residences with retail or lodging or office space. Mayor Rick Kriseman, in marking One’s construction start, says St. Petersburg has become “a pinnacle for contemporary downtown living. We are creating an urban core that invites you to live, work and play all year round.” – See more at: http://www.businessobserverfl.com/section/detail/mixed-use-mecca/
