The development site falls within the city’s Resort High Facilities (RHF-50) zoning district, where condo-hotels are considered a transient lodging use rather than residential under the city’s code.
The district permits up to 50 units per acre, a maximum building height of 60 feet, and a floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.2.
Sunshine Club is designed to max out its density of 14 units on the 0.28-acre property, a height of 60 feet, and a floor area ratio of 1.19.
Structural engineer German Gonzalez LLC, working with Scott Martinez, completed the initial structural design for the project.
Sales for the units will be handled by Jeff Beggins with Century 21.
Prices are expected to start around $950,000, with pre-construction sales launching once construction progresses further and model units can be shown.
Karns estimates the building will take roughly 15 months to complete, putting an anticipated opening sometime in 2027.
For Pro Development USA, Sunshine Club represents the company’s first larger-scale residential development on the Pinellas beaches.
