DRC approves car-free apartment project amid concerns

When The Metro apartment complex traded hands earlier this year, it was converted into The Mint House, an apartment-style hotel with short-term rentals. Several St. Petersburg Development Review Commissioners fear the same transaction and transformation may happen with a newly proposed car-free apartment building.

During a Wednesday DRC meeting, commissioners tussled with the request before them - approval of a site plan to construct an eight-story building with 97 dwelling units and floor area ratio (FAR) bonuses. Unlike the many projects the commission reviews, this micro-unit complex would not offer on-site parking.

Inside the Dali Museum’s new ‘experience’ dome

It’s unlikely that what happens in the Dome will stay in the Dome, because people are going to be talking about St. Petersburg’s newest immersive art experience.

The newly-risen geodesic structure on the east side of the Dali Museum is home to Dali Alive 360, a 40-minute, interpretive video/audio tour of Salvador Dali’s works, from early days to later in his life.
