St. Petersburg is buzzing with excitement as construction crews gear up for a monumental event—the foundation pour for the much-anticipated 3rd & 3rd apartment tower. That’s right folks, this is not just any ordinary construction; this promise of modern living is set to change the skyline!
Mark your calendars! The foundation pour is officially set to begin on Friday, January 24th, starting at 8:00 p.m. This monumental undertaking is expected to last between 12 to 14 hours. Now, you might be wondering, what’s the big deal? Well, this pour is estimated to be one of the largest in St. Petersburg’s history. Just picture this: 4,000 cubic yards of concrete will be utilized!
As the crews get ready, it’s important to note that a staggering 380 to 420 concrete trucks will be making their way to the site located at 235 3rd Street South. Talk about a concrete parade! The tower is strategically positioned at the northwest corner of 3rd Avenue South and 3rd Street, right across from the bustling Publix-anchored University Village shopping center.
Let’s not forget why we’re all excited about this! The new tower will stand tall at an impressive 33 stories high and boast a total of 262 apartment units. From cozy studios to luxurious two-story penthouses, there is something for everyone in this modern haven. Residents can look forward to high-end finishes and top-of-the-line appliances.
But wait, there’s more! This structure isn’t just about the apartments. It will also feature a 330-space parking garage and an impressive 15,000 square feet of retail space that will be available for lease. Shopping at your doorstep is definitely a dream come true for many!
Let’s talk about relaxation and recreation. The building is designed with an extraordinary eighth-floor amenity deck that includes an outdoor pool, cozy cabanas, fire pits, and even a large TV wall for those must-see sporting events. Staying fit is made easy with a well-equipped gym, while communal spaces like a community kitchen, resident workspaces, and conference rooms will ensure that there’s always a place to meet and greet.
In terms of architectural flair, the design masterminds at Tampa-based Baker Barrios Architects have created a striking look, featuring large angular balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows. The building is set to impress with its sleek dark accents that adorn the parking garage and the base of the structure.
Curious about when you can move into this stunning residence? It’s anticipated that move-ins will start in the third quarter of 2026. So, while we may have to wait a while, the good news is that the future is looking bright for downtown St. Pete!
As with any ambitious project, challenges abound, especially when constructing on tight urban sites. This undertaking emphasizes the importance of teamwork between KAST Construction and Echelon to ensure everything runs smoothly. Rest assured, the safety of neighboring buildings during the foundation work will also be taken seriously, with precautions like vibration monitoring put in place.
That’s a wrap for now, but stay tuned as construction progresses and we witness the transformation of downtown St. Pete into a vibrant living and shopping experience like never before!
