Four development teams – some for the second time – have submitted proposals to provide affordable homeownership opportunities at a city-owned site in West St. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg College formerly owned the 5.23-acre property at 7045 Burlington Ave. N., which once housed the Gibbs Wellness Center. The city council unanimously approved purchasing the site for $4.2 million in November 2023.
Three joint ventures submitted redevelopment proposals in June 2024. However, administrators restarted the process April 4.
The city confirmed Monday that HP Capital Group, Ramos Development, McDowell Housing Partners and Namaste Homes submitted new proposals by the May 5 deadline. Per state statute, officials cannot unseal those documents until 30 days after review.
Habitat for Humanity Tampa Bay Gulfside responded to the initial request for proposals (RFP). The organization, which recently celebrated an affordable townhome development opening in South St. Petersburg, remains in the running.
