Welcome to the Farm - a concept by country music superstar, Chase Rice, is coming soon to 216 1st Avenue North
Downtown Developments
35-story apartment tower and 13-story hotel coming soon to corner of 2nd St N & 3rd Ave N, replacing Fit2Run and Hotel Indigo
It seems like each time we take a stroll through downtown there are new restaurants and galleries opening and more apartment complexes and condo towers being built. We realize it’s difficult to keep track of everything. Luckily, we’ve done the research, so you don’t have to. Each month we will feature a few of the most exciting new downtown developments that are on the horizon for the Sunshine City. Welcome to the Farm is coming soon to 216 1st Avenue North in downtown St. Pete (formerly MacDinton’s Irish Pub). Inspired by his own farm in Tennessee, country music superstar Chase Rice is opening the live music country bar on the Jannus Block this summer. The bar will offer an expansive whiskey menu along with themed cocktails, such as “Bennington’s Flask” named after Rice’s favorite buffalo. The interior will feature cowhide benches lining the back wall and a large red, white, and
blue neon star hanging above a hardwood dance floor. A 35-story apartment tower and 13-story hotel has been proposed for downtown St. Pete. The development is planned for a 1.48-acre lot currently home to Fit2Run and the Exchange Hotel. The project will feature 361 apartments and a 184-key hotel and is being developed by Tampabased investment firm Ally Capital Group and Delray Beach-based Kolter Group, which developed ONE St. Petersburg and the downtown St. Pete Hyatt Place and is in the process of developing a pair of condo towers, Saltaire and Art House. Good Fortune St. Pete is coming soon to the ground floor of Station House at 260 1st Avenue South in downtown St. Pete. This is the latest concept from Stephen Schrutt, who also owns The Avenue, Park & Rec, No Vacancy, and Dirty Laundry. Good Fortune will serve sushi and a variety of Asian dishes with specialty drinks, including Japanese whiskeys and different styles of sake, beers, wine, and bubbles. The 6,000 square foot open-style space will feature dining tables for guests, a 12-person sushi bar, a 14-seat bar and cocktail lounge, a private karaoke room, and an outdoor patio. Sky St. Pete, a 20-story, 246-unit apartment tower is coming soon to the corner of 17th Street North and Burlington Avenue in downtown St. Pete. The project will include a sixth-floor rooftop pool and lounge
