SPHA Proposes Redevelopment of Clearview Park Apartments in St. Petersburg

The St. Petersburg Housing Authority is leading a proposal to redevelop Clearview Park Apartments, a 22-unit garden-style complex at 3200 37th Avenue North that dates to the early 1980s. The plan would renovate 18 existing units, demolish four, and add 46 new apartments in a four-story building, raising density by roughly 194 percent.

The new units would come in one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts, ranging from about 680 to 920 square feet. Preference would go to seniors, though income parameters have not been formally set. Pinellas County's median income was listed at $72,600 for 2020 through 2024.

The estimated cost of the renovations is $13 million. Work depends on securing funding from several sources, with construction possibly beginning in late 2027 or early 2028. Trouble Creek Road Development and MLK Architecture are on the development team, and no general contractor has been chosen yet. After completion, the SPHA would manage the community.

For developers and lenders, this is a public-housing-authority-led infill project where financing commitments will drive the schedule, and the senior preference terms should be confirmed before underwriting.
