Affordable Townhomes in West St. Pete inch forward - Tampa Bay Business Journals

The City Council of West St. Petersburg will review a proposal for a 105-townhome affordable housing development located at 7045 Burlington Avenue N. The property, currently owned by St. Petersburg College and formerly the Gibbs Wellness Center, is slated for purchase by the city for $4.2 million. Plans include constructing workforce housing with 30% reserved for SPC staff and students, targeting individuals at or below 120% of the area median income. Following the purchase agreement approval in November, the city intends to issue a request for proposal (RFP) to solicit bids from developers, subject to review and approval by the Development Review Commission and City Council.
