Construction on Phase 1 is expected to begin in late 2026 and take about 18 months to complete. Phase 2 would follow roughly two years later.
Greenleaf representatives have met with board members of the Tierra Verde Community Association (TVCA) and are coordinating a future meeting with Tierra Verde Next, a local civic group.
“While we are not opposed to the redevelopment of this property, we advocate for an alternative plan that preserves retail options, maintains the aesthetic integrity of our island’s natural beauty, and minimizes hazards at the entrance to our tranquil community,” said Anne Norungolo, TVCA board director, in an emailed statement to St. Pete Rising in September.
The redevelopment team includes RWA Engineering, Halff Associates Inc., and Arehna Engineering Inc.
The marina remains operational daily, with plans to eventually introduce a digital scheduling app for boat pickup and drop-off reservations once the new facilities open.
“We’ve listened carefully to residents and made substantial changes,” Kriseman said. “From enhanced landscaping to new retail and public gathering spaces, this project now reflects both community feedback and Tierra Verde’s character.”
Once both phases are complete, Tierra Verde Marina will be able to accommodate up to 711 boats and would be the second largest storage facility in Florida.
