This
project is a mixed-use project that will form the centerpiece of a revitalization
for downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. The project, known as Florencia,
is a 23-story luxury condominium tower with retail at ground level and
parking in a podium. On half of the adjacent block, a three-story retail/office
building is planned with a courtyard entrance. |

The
project is on the site of the former Soreno Hotel across Beach Drive from
the St. Petersburg Yacht Club and Fine Arts Center, both of which are local
landmarks designed in a Mediterranean style. The new buildings include
elements which relate to these historical buildings and will be built with
stucco and clay tile roofs. Arched windows and arcades at street level will work
to architecturally unify the downtown area. |
