Central Plaza plans signify transformation of district

The once-thriving Central Plaza, the first regional shopping center in the city that now boasts a barren parking lot and "for lease" signs on empty retail spaces, will serve a completely new purpose in the evolving Grand Union District.

St. Pete developers Jon Daou, largely credited with the development of the Edge District, and Blake Whitney Thompson of Blake Investment Partners have teamed up with Washington, D.C.-based firm Kettler to breathe new life into the Central Plaza property by bringing new retail and hundreds of apartments to the site.
