Massive Mixed-Use Development Gets The Green Light In St. Petersburg’s Skyway Marina District

St. Petersburg’s Development Review Commission has given the green light to an expansive mixed-use development slated for the Skyway Marina District. Spanning 34.3 acres, the project, known as Skyway Village, is a phased, master-planned endeavor. It involves the demolition of most of the existing 380,000-square-foot office park at 3102 34th Street South, to be replaced by a series of new mid-rise buildings featuring a blend of apartments and walkable community retail. Notably, a Sprouts Farmers Market is set to anchor the retail component. Initially reported by St. Pete Rising, the project was proposed for an underutilized office park, formerly housing Minneapolis-based Ceridian, known for its human resources software and services.
