Two plans still in the running to redevelop the St. Petersburg Municipal Services Center

St. Petersburg officials have ruled out two proposals to redevelop the downtown Municipal Services Center and are moving forward with discussions with two other potential developers.

The city will continue to talk with The Allen Morris Company in Coral Gables, as well as with a joint venture between two local firms, Third Lake Partners and Echelon LLC. Each of those plans calls for constructing a new Municipal Services Center on vacant city-owned land on 2nd Avenue North, near City Hall, and replacing the existing Municipal Services Center at Central Avenue and 4th Street with a mixed-use project.
