The City of St. Petersburg Development Review Commission has approved a 21-story, $134 million mixed-use apartment tower proposed for a 1.3-acre site within Downtown St. Petersburg’s National Register Historic District. Commissioners voted 4-1 on Wednesday to advance The Pelican, a 370-unit residential development designed by Baker Barrios Architects and planned by St. Petersburg-based Stadler Development, following multiple hearing postponements and a prior deferral.

Okan Tower has reached the 40th floor as construction continues at the 72-story mixed-use high-rise rising at 555 North Miami Avenue in Downtown Miami. Developed by Okan Group and designed by Behar Font & Partners, the project is now more than halfway toward its planned 903-foot height.

An application has been filed with the Federal Aviation Administration seeking height approval for The Gaspar, a proposed 23-story, 188-unit condominium tower designed by MGBA Architecture and developed by Berts Real Estate in partnership with Flamingo Homes. The project is planned for a triangular parcel at 1307 N Jefferson Street at the northern edge of Downtown Tampa. The 0.33-acre site is owned by 1307 N Jefferson Tampa LLC, an entity affiliated with Berts Real Estate, and is currently under review by Tampa’s Design District Review Board. Sales for the condominium are being handled by Anchor Real Estate, with interior design by Robert Bailey Interiors.

Construction has been completed on the expansion of 350 Gills Drive, an industrial facility developed by Mapletree Investments in Orlando. The newly delivered addition totals 53,995 square feet and brings the overall building footprint at the site to 204,595 square feet.

Property Markets Group has secured a $115 million construction loan for Sage Intracoastal Residences Fort Lauderdale, a 28-story boutique condominium tower currently under construction along the Intracoastal Waterway. The project, which recently broke ground, is located at 900 Intracoastal Drive and is scheduled for completion in late 2027.
