The development would include 80 apartments averaging 700 square feet, with 12 surface parking spaces, on-site amenities including ground-floor and rooftop community areas, and direct access to the Pinellas Trail.
The units would serve seniors earning 60% to 80% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and preference would be given to those who previously resided in the Historic Gas Plant District.
“The city has expressed a desire very publicly to help former residents of the Historic Gas Plant District have a place in a new Gas Plant District,” Brickfield said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “This is an opportunity to deliver on that.”
The proposal states this development would “serve as a catalyst and model for future affordable housing within and around the Historic Gas Plant District and Innovation District.”
