Plans to transform a portion of a YMCA property in St. Pete’s Grand Central District into a pedestrian-only retail village and residential complex are one step closer to reality. During a recent Development Review Commission meeting, commissioners approved the plan for Whitney Village, a proposed mixed-use development expected to rise on a portion of the YMCA campus. The eastern 5 acres of the site will be redeveloped with a new 5-story, 330-unit multifamily building. This structure will feature a contemporary character with a blend of industrial aesthetics. The exterior façade will feature a striking mix of modern materials, including brick, stucco, fiber cement panels, and large windows with black frames, creating a cohesive style while allowing natural light to flood each unit. The garage will be constructed with precast elements and modern industrial-style screening, designed to complement the proportions established by the residential building. The units will have an attainable price point designed to help provide housing to local employees. Construction is expected to commence in early 2025, with a completion date slated for mid-2026.

Shiver me timbers! The FK team had a lot of fun and got a little silly as we spent time together on the Winter Park Scenic Boat Tour. Slathered in sunscreen and donning sailor caps, we filled two boats and headed out on the chain of lakes to admire our local waters, see some eclectic architecture, learn about Winter Park’s history, and bond as a team. Special thanks to our Marketing Team for putting this event together and helping us enjoy a day of team comradery! Read more about it here. #TeamBuilding #FKTeam #ScenicBoatTour #WinterPark
