Habitat for Humanity along with the City of St. Petersburg and Exact – Shell Dash, LLC have begun construction on a 10-unit townhome project at 1120 16th Street South in the Campbell Park neighborhood of St. Pete.
“The housing crisis that we’re in continues to really kind of amplify the challenges so many families are facing in our community. So today’s a good day,” said Mike Sutton, President & CEO of Habitat Pinellas and West Pasco. “We’re able to put some shovels in the ground and really show this community in South Saint Petersburg that, you know, there’s a great project coming.”

Each home will have three bedrooms and with three bathrooms and a single car garage. The new development will be exclusively marketed to potential homeowners making less than 80% of the area median income and buyers must be willing to participate in Habitat for Humanity’s home ownership program.
Through a partnership with Habitat for Humanity’s programs and investments by the City of St. Petersburg, each home will have a price cap of $219,000.
DuCon Construction is serving as the general contractor for the project.
Completion of the Shell Dash townhomes is expected in the third quarter of 2024.
