The site sits directly across the street from the Residences at 400 Central<\/a>, the 46-story condominium tower that currently stands as St. Petersburg’s tallest building.<\/p>\n

The Times property was listed for sale after Hurricane Milton’s winds caused a construction crane at 400 Central to collapse into the structure in October 2024, rendering it uninhabitable.<\/p>\n

Stock Development purchased the building for $18 million, according to a source familiar with the transaction.<\/p>\n

The eight-story, 240,000-square-foot complex consists of three integrated buildings, with the original structure built in 1924 and additions completed in 1968 and 1988. <\/p>\n

Stock Development also acquired the historic Tramor Cafeteria property for $14.5 million, according to a deed recorded Friday.<\/p>\n

The property is one of downtown St. Petersburg’s oldest surviving commercial structures and has played a prominent role in the city’s history for nearly a century.<\/p>\n

The property\u2019s previous owner, Nuri Erol, purchased the 15,826-square-foot property in December 2021 for $7.1 million.<\/p>\n

Constructed in 1929, the building opened as Bob’s Cafeteria, was later renamed the Tramor Cafeteria, and eventually served as a staff cafeteria for the Tampa Bay Times. The original interior features Spanish-Mediterranean architecture and ceiling trusses repurposed from a 1920s airport hangar.<\/p>\n

In 2015, Hofbrauhaus, modeled after the legendary beer hall in Munich, Germany, opened in the space. It closed in 2020 after failing to pay rent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The site sits directly across the street from the Residences at 400 Central, the 46-story condominium tower that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":313341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-313340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-st-petersburg","tag-st-pete","tag-st-pete-headlines","tag-st-pete-news","tag-st-petersburg","tag-st-petersburg-headlines","tag-st-petersburg-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=313340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/313340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/313341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=313340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=313340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=313340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
