Models span two-bedroom to four-bedroom floorplans; in-unit amenities will include EnergyStar appliances, hardwood cabinets, and pre-wired home phone\/cable hook-ups. Each unit would also have its own parking garage.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-37015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Screenshot-2025-12-09-at-2.40.57-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"760\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">The project would feature 40 townhomes. Image by Klar and Klar Architects<\/p>\n<p>Actual sitework on Pelican Place is expected to start next year; vertical construction is anticipated to start in late 2026. Residency will be available to households earning up to 80 percent of the area median income (AMI). According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stpete.org\/residents\/housing\/income_limits.php\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">city records<\/a>, a four-person household could earn no more than $83,450 annually to qualify. The homes themselves are expected to sell for around $300,000.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for Pelican Place were conceived in 2022 after St. Petersburg Mayor Ken Welch chose Habitat for Humanity to develop the vacant 2.26-acre site. Clearwater-based Klar and Klar Architects designed the community. In total, it\u2019s estimated to cost $15.6 million to complete.<\/p>\n<p>Pelican Place will be located across from Tangerine Plaza at <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/2MvTFYcRgRRuxEeq7\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">2100 18th Avenue South, St. Petersburg, Florida<\/a>, 33712, in Pinellas County.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/eepurl.com\/hud0UH\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe<\/a> to YIMBY\u2019s daily e-mail<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/yimbygram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBYgram for real-time photo updates<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/YIMBYFB\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Like<\/a>\u00a0YIMBY on Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yimbytweets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Follow<\/a> YIMBY\u2019s Twitter for the latest in YIMBYnews<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/floridayimby.com\/category\/uncategorized\" rel=\"category tag nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Uncategorized<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"display: inline;\">. <\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Image by Klar and Klar Architects By: Colt Dodd 7:00 am on December 10, 2025 On Monday, St.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":78309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[202,204,203,199,201,200],"class_list":["post-78308","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\/78308","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=78308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/78308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/78309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=78308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=78308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
