Ground broken for Fairfield Avenue Apartments

After five years of planning, local government leaders and housing partners came together to celebrate the groundbreaking of the Fairfield Avenue Apartments project Wednesday. 

Construction on the 264-unit affordable and workforce housing community, at 3300 Fairfield Avenue South, will begin next week. It will take approximately 20 months to build the three-building complex. St. Petersburg-based HP Capital Group is overseeing development.

St. Pete council votes to delay Trop site proposal process

St. Petersburg City Council members, in a 6-2 vote, approved a resolution Thursday asking Mayor Ken Welch to “pause any action” related to selecting a Historic Gas Plant District redevelopment proposal.

The resolution is nonbinding, and Welch previously told the Catalyst that he would not pause an already long-delayed generational project, regardless of the council’s wishes. Nine development teams submitted proposals to reimagine roughly 86 acres, currently home to Tropicana Field, by the Tuesday deadline.
