The Pinellas Trail, which runs along the south side of the site, will play a central role in the building’s design.
Bonet describes the street-level retail as an active, wellness-oriented destination featuring an expansive 5,000-square-foot gym with steam saunas, cold plunges, and a coffee shop or juice bar that opens directly onto the trail.
“The Pinellas Trail is such a unique amenity,” Bonet said. “As cool as it is, we believe it can be even more iconic.”
An amenity deck on the sixth floor will feature a resort-style pool and a 23rd-floor rooftop will include a co-working lounge and community room with panoramic views of Tampa Bay and the downtown skyline.
Unlike many luxury apartment buildings that focus mainly on larger floor plans, LD&D is designing a significant number of studio units, about 500 square feet each, optimized for open, flexible layouts.
“We love studios,” Bonet said. “And the way we’ve designed them, they’ll feel more like one-bedrooms than true studios.”
