Lake House

A new version of a scaled-back Mirror Lake condominium tower is moving forward. 

During a Wednesday, March 3rd St. Petersburg Development Review Commission meeting, officials unanimously approved Skyward Living's plans to build Lake House, an 11-story upscale condo building at 200 Mirror Lake Drive North. 

The applicant St. Pete-based Skyward Living, which is helmed by St. Pete local developer Hudson Harr, must meet more than 20 different conditions for the project. 

After community concerns, a St. Pete-based developer is significantly reducing the height of the planned Lake House condominium tower that may soon rise on Mirror Lake.

St. Pete-based Skyward Living, which is helmed by St. Pete local Hudson Harr, now proposes to build an 11-story upscale condo building at 200 Mirror Lake Drive North, a seven story decrease from the original 18-story plan.

“A year ago, when the original proposal went before the St. Petersburg DRC [Development Review Commission], there was discussion about the parking podium and whether it could be reduced by an additional level,” Harr said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising.

The development team acquiesced, decreasing the parking podium height from five stories to three and increasing the tower’s setback as a result of comments from Derek Kilborn, Manager of the City of St. Petersburg's Urban Planning and Historic Preservation Division.

An 18-story mixed-use tower has been proposed for the Mirror Lake neighborhood in downtown St. Pete. The development, named Lake House, will feature 77 condominiums and an 840 square foot café.

The $90 million project is being developed by St. Pete-based Skyward Living, which is helmed by St. Pete locals Hudson Harr and Tony Mullersman. Together with Tim Clemmons of Place Architecture, the duo previously built LIV 233, a three-unit townhome community on 4th Avenue North, and Urbana Townhomes, a five-unit townhome community on 7th Street South, along with many other residential infill developments.

With the downtown skyline as a backdrop, Lake House will be situated on a 0.49-acre lot located at 200 Mirror Lake Drive. The site is currently occupied by five one and two-story buildings that will be demolished.
