St. Petersburg is uniquely poised to shine in a post-COVID world. As a sun-drenched, art-filled, metropolis, St. Petersburg embraces a creative energy that fuels entrepreneurship and outdoor living. This year promises to be a pivotal moment in our city’s continued evolution. This guide is a snapshot of our growth. We are excited about future development that takes advantage of our coastal climate, a foundation of good design, intentional inclusivity and a welcoming culture that already defines this special place.
The city skyline ascends to crest at the water’s edge, and city high-rises are primarily residential buildings. That density means that Downtown St. Pete is lively with plazas, parks and outdoor bars and restaurants, creating a dynamic urban-village vibe. A strong commitment to preserving our authentic, local feeling permeates our restaurant and retail sectors.
