March 02, 2022/ Anthony Close

The latest edition of Aerial St. Pete shows the progress on several downtown high-rise developments. Aerial St. Pete is a column by St. Pete Rising which features exclusive aerial photography of projects under construction in St. Petersburg, FL. To accomplish this, we have teamed up with Anthony Bove at AB3 Visuals.

In this article we are taking a look at five projects in downtown St. Pete which are in various stages of construction. Some are in the demolition stage while other are topped out and closer to completion. These projects include: 334 Apartments, Residences at 400 Central, Ascent St. Petersburg, Saltaire, and Orange Station. We look forward to following these projects as they grow closer to completion.

The project features an ambitious but thoughtfully designed blend of office, retail, and residential.

Demolition is set to begin soon at 1300 1st Avenue North, site of the former St Pete Police Department headquarters and future home of Orange Station at the EDGE. The project is moving forward after the St Petersburg Development Review Commission granted approval of the site plan and requested variances earlier this week.

St Pete Rising first reported on the mixed-use development when plans were unveiled late last year. The project features an ambitious but thoughtfully-designed blend of office, retail, and residential space, including 42 workforce apartments to be named The WYE (a hat tip to the triangular junction found in railroads) and 61 luxury condos called The Residences at Orange Station.

More details have been released about a mixed-use project proposed for the former St. Pete Police Department headquarters site at 1300 1st Avenue North in the EDGE District.

A year ago, the City of St. Petersburg selected Edge Central Development Partners to redevelop the site after a new police station was completed across the street in early 2019.

Named Orange Station at the Edge, the development is expected to include 100,000 square feet Class A office space, 56 urban condominiums, 30 workforce housing apartments, and over 20,000 square feet of ground floor retail space.
