A new affordable housing community for family and senior apartments will be built on a 1.35-acre site at the corner of Hartford Street N. and 32nd Avenue N in St. Pete. The project will bring a total of 95-units, thanks to the city council approving a rezoning request for the site on February 15th which allowed for higher density at the location. The original plan only included 47 units.

Blue Sky Communities Partner Scott Macdonald said in a release “We are very excited to reach this milestone and begin working with the St. Petersburg Housing Authority, the need for this housing in St. Petersburg is enormous.”

The land is currently owned by the St. Petersburg Housing Authority (SPHA) and the project will also include recreational space for pickleball and shuffleboard. As a part of the same project, the team will also renovate the SPHA property located at 3475 32nd Avenue (Saratoga Apartments), an affordable community with two two-story apartment buildings. 34 one and two-bedroom apartments are spread amongst that apartment community.

SPHA serves over 4,000 low-income households throughout St. Petersburg. “We could not be more thrilled to pursue this development opportunity as the latest step in fulfilling our mission to provide safe, affordable housing to the residents of St. Petersburg, especially in a time of such great need,” SPHA Board Chairman James Dates said in a release. “Our board will always lend our support in this critical effort.”
