Best video I've seen highlighting downtown st pete, I see in the comments we have the typical st pete vs tampa debate, the fact that tampa keeps spreading out makes it harder to get from say Armature Works to Hyde Park, st pete can quickly get from beach to edge to grand central to up 4th st

[@Weeki370]

I like how to mention the depth of the skyline with 400 central pushing out to 5th st , probably 2.5 years about end of 2026 maybe the heavy construction will slow down

Let's not sleep on Tampa. We've got billions of dollars worth of development currently in the planning stages. Many buildings about to go vertical. I'm aware of almost 20 high rise buildings going up in the downtown area within the next year or so, and many more within the next five to ten years. It's an exciting time for both cities. People are flocking to the Tampa Bay area in droves.

What’s causing this boom in construction?

[@dr.dylan123]

All the people moving here

[@jameswashington8758]

Because of jobs and opportunities I bet

[@royradtke4618]

It's because of Bidenomics 😀

When I look at growth, I look at how many business are moving to a city. And ST Pete is no where close to Salt Lake City, Dallas, Austin etc …

[@brpetzn]

Might be growing, but Ron Desantis is destroying the state, and everyone is being priced.out of condos and apartments. There doesn't seem to be a lot of high paying jobs in Flordia either. Flordia is slowly becoming another poor southern state with too high prices.

[@dr.dylan123]

@@brpetzn what yourr describing sounds like a united states problem and not a florida problem

[@NorthSiDe248]

Yes you're right bro. I'm essentially homeless now and it looks just as poor as the real deep south now. Minds well live in Louisiana or Mississippi because there you can at least afford housing.

St. Pete's growth is actually stagnant because many of the quads and duplexes around the city that housed multiple people were bought up by rich people and now only have a single family living in them. All of the growth in the Tampa Bay metro is coming from Hillsborough and Pasco. St. Pete is densifying which is great but its not growing faster than Tampa by any means at most the development is happening at the same rate. Outside of downtown there's not a whole lot of major developments happening in Pinellas, maybe Carillon, but otherwise nothing. Meanwhile Tampa has multiple large scale projects in the works at varying degrees like Water Street, Gasworx, Midtown, Uptown, Tampa Heights-YMCA redevelopment and none of that includes the various projects in Bayshore, downtown CBD, NOHO, West River, Encore etc. I love St. Pete, I live in Mirror Lake but the growth of the 2 cities is very different, Tampa is densifying multiple sections of the city which all seem to be converging on Downtown while St. Pete is densifying downtown and and slowly working its way outward. This gives St. Pete a much better downtown but makes the rest of the city suburban trash.

Yeah for sure, i mean i kind of touched on that in the beginning of this video but thank you for the info!

[@johnhoyle8201]

The Rays stadium and surrounding parking lots are being transformed into an entirely new neighborhood beginning in 2026... so I would disagree and contest there are a lot of major changes around town. Tampa is a little bit bigger, and Pasco is a lot cheaper to build in because the land value is lower. They are very different markets and not necessarily in competition with each other.

[@omarwilliams5149]

​@@johnhoyle8201agreed. Well said.
