A new active senior living community is coming soon to the Skyway Marina District. On April 30th, Sarasota-based LifeStar Living closed on a 5.25-acre property at 4595 34th Street South for $9 million. The site is currently home to a self-storage facility and an Ace Hardware.
“We are very excited about closing on this prized location in St. Petersburg,” says LifeStar President and CEO Joel Anderson. “The Skyway Marina District is situated within so many convenient lifestyle opportunities that make St. Petersburg a special place to live, and a perfect location for LifeStar’s flagship property.”
The first phase of the Manhattan is estimated to cost $125 million and will be comprised of over 80 condo-style homes with modern coastal finishes. Each unit will include 1,050 to 2,600 square feet of living space.
The nine-story building will feature high-end amenities and services, including indoor and outdoor dining venues, an outdoor pool, nature paths, a fitness center and spa, 24-hour security, valet services, and priority access to healthcare services that includes assisted living and memory care.
The new resort-style membership-based community will provide benefits and boutique healthcare to its members, such as co-working spaces and flexible common areas for residents to gather and socialize with a view of Boca Ciega Bay.

Phase two of The Manhattan will include additional residential units and resort-style amenities. There is no timeline for when phase two will begin construction.
“We are excited to bring a new style of design and more modern approach in services in a post-pandemic era that fits the growing demands of today and tomorrow’s retirees to enjoy life to its fullest and have the greatest peace of mind,” says Anderson.
Over 900 residential units across four developments are currently under construction in the Skyway Marina District
The Manhattan is just the latest development underway in the Skyway Marina District, which is currently experiencing a building boom. There are currently more residential units under construction in Skyway Marina District than any other neighborhood in St. Pete, including downtown.
Later this year, hundreds of new residents will soon call the Skyway Marina District home. Pre-leasing began this month for Marina Walk, a 245-unit apartment community located just south of The Manhattan. Additionally, Starbucks and Tropical Smoothie Café will be opening alongside Marina Walk in an outparcel building fronting 34th Street South.
The Addison Skyway Marina, a 308-unit luxury apartment community, and Sur Club, a 296-unit resort-style apartment complex, are also under construction. Lastly, Skyway Lofts, an affordable housing community, broke ground last year and will bring another 65 units to the neighborhood in 2022.
Construction on phase one of The Manhattan is expected to begin in early 2022 at 4595 34th Street South. Be sure to check out their website and sign up for updates to be notified as soon as units become available.
