It’s been a busy block from Beach Drive to 1st Street N. This appears to be on the same land as the previously announced O.N.E project (not to be confused with the ONE project). Between Beach Drive and 1st Street North, Rowland Place, a 17 unit condo developer by JMC, was completed and began closings in March. Bliss , with 29 units, is under construction. Three units remain available at Bliss, from $846,900 to $2,915,900. The former P. Buckley Moss museum is being transformed into a single family residence. Between 1st Street North and 2nd Street North, Frank Menna and Steve Gianfilippo announced The Brownstones , a row of five 4,000 sq ft homes with space for professional offices below and with roof decks. Preconstruction prices are expected to be between $1.3 million and $1.8 million. Newly announced by NJR Property Investments on that same block is Regents Lane at 141 Fourth Avenue N. These townhomes will be 2,335 sq ft in four stories. Each will have a 2 car garage, 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a private elevator and a rooftop deck. Prices are expected to range from $848,500 to $928,000. Older buildings now on the property will be torn down to make room for Regents Lane . You can contact The Simms Team at Coastal Properties Group International, Christie’s International for representation in purchasing a preconstruction or existing property. Written by Sharon Simms | Discussion: No Comments » Time to convert apartments to condos in downtown St Pete? March 16th, 2015 categories: Downtown St Petersburg 330 Third Soon after the end of the pile driving, we find that American Land Ventures has hired a real estate company to arrange the sale of 330 Third, their planned 358 unit apartment building, as a possible condo conversion. The building, south of the downtown Publix and north of The Madison, is scheduled to be completed in 2016, with units ranging from studios to 3 bedroom units. Some of the units in this 17 story building will have water views. Learn more in a recent article on 330 Third by Susan Taylor Martin.

I like getting gas at Bob Lee’s because it’s full service. They used to just give ladies full service, but changed some time ago so they give everyone full service. I like not having to pump my own gas, especially when it’s cold or rainy, and it’s nice to have my windshield washed and my tires checked. For some years they’ve had some sort of food operation there, but I think they’ve picked a winner by bringing in Kahwa. After having my usual morning coffee at Kahwa North, I drove to Bob Lee’s to fill up with gas, and there was Sarah Perrier, one of the Kahwa owners, holding her familiar yellow and brown cup of Kahwa coffee and letting everyone know that they can have a free cup of coffee today (and yesterday and tomorrow). I went in for mine and discovered a unique blend of Kahwa coffee shop with vintage gas station. Congratulations, Rafael and Sarah! You’ve been a fabulous addition to St Pete and surrounds, so it’s good to see you expanding successfully.

Somehow there wasn’t enough energy left for writing blog posts. The good news is – surgery and chemo are behind me, and I’m now a breast cancer survivor. I kept working throughout the time, but Tami, Rob and Amy really filled in so our real estate business didn’t miss a beat.
