City gives $4.5 million to massive Skyway Marina project

St. Petersburg City Council members unanimously approved allocating $4.5 million to a sprawling mixed-use development Thursday amid debate over what now constitutes affordable housing.

Once complete, the multi-phased Skytown Apartments project 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 the Skyway Marina District was once home to the Ceridian business campus.
