Twin 31-story towers could reshape St. Pete’s skyline

A local developer has submitted plans for a $225 million project that would bridge a gap between St. Petersburg’s downtown core and an underutilized area around Tropicana Field.

If approved, Echelon Development will transform a former insurance company’s headquarters and city-owned parking lot into a mixed-use development with two 31-story towers, 824 apartments and 35,800 square feet of retail space. The existing building at 800 2nd Ave. S. temporarily houses executive offices for the Tampa Bay Rays.

In its centennial year, Derby Lane changes hands

Derby Lane’s fate was sealed in 2020, when dog racing was outlawed in Florida.

St. Petersburg’s grandest gambling palace has been in freefall ever since. Once the greyhounds were evicted, Derby Lane tried everything to keep the folks coming, including poker and closed-circuit horse races, and dog races from the few states where it was still legal.
