The Tampa Bay Rays have unveiled new conceptual designs for their proposed baseball stadium in downtown St. Petersburg. Designed by the architectural firm Populous, the stadium is set to be reviewed by the City Council Committee of the Whole on June 12. The team aims to secure approvals by July and begin construction in early 2025, with the stadium expected to open for the 2028 baseball season.
The Hines Historic Gas Plant Partnership hopes to flip a 0.58-acre parcel into a residential housing complex. If approved, the project would offer at least 80 affordable housing units and 2,500 square feet of retail and surface parking.
Last November, the City of St. Petersburg issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the redevelopment of a 2.02-acre site near Tropicana Field in the Intown Redevelopment Area. The RFP was issued following an unsolicited offer by New York City-based developer Atlas Real Estate Partners. Outgoing Mayor Rick Kriseman has selected Dynasty Financial Partners to purchase the property for $6.25 million, which is specifically located at 910 2nd Avenue South and is comprised of nearly 88,000 square feet. The property is bound by Dr. M.L.K. Jr. St. S on the east, 3rd Ave. S. to the south, 10th St. S. to the west and 2nd Ave. S. to the north, and was previously being utilized as a parking lot leased to the Tampa Bay Rays.
