Local leaders celebrated construction commencing on the largest mixed-income development in Pinellas County history Wednesday.

Once complete, the multi-phased Skytown Apartments will feature 2,084 housing units, 80,920 square feet of commercial space, 22,500 square feet of accessory self-storage and 4,000 parking spaces at the southwest corner of 34th Street and 30th Avenue South. The 34.3-acre site in St. Petersburg’s Skyway Marina District was formerly home to the Ceridian business campus.
