St. Pete panel approves 45-story condo tower. Would be West Florida’s tallest.
Quote:
Despite the nay-saying, the city’s Development Review Commission on Wednesday unanimously approved site plans for a $300 million mixed-use project on Central Avenue that could include the tallest condo tower on Florida’s West Coast. Although the developer, New York-based Red Apple Group, still must meet several conditions, site preparation work could begin this spring on the 45-story tower, a 20-story hotel and a 842-space parking garage.
Because of the relative proximity to Albert Whitted Airport, Red Apple will need approval from the Federal Aviation Administration for a condo tower proposed at 515 feet. That would exceed the height of ONE St. Petersburg, a recently completed 456-foot tower a few blocks to the east that now holds the height record.
To build as big as it plans, Red Apple also will have to buy development rights from existing buildings. That helps preserve historic buildings such as the Snell Arcade whose owners are limited in what they can do to their own property.
Several people spoke in favor of the project, including a ONE St. Petersburg resident, engineer Mac Roopani..
