Recent Highlights (as of July 2023)

1000 First Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida

Project Overview

We have consolidated several parcels, comprising 1.6-acres of land (previously referred to as 902-1020 First Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida) into a single parcel, 1000 First Avenue North, St. Petersburg, Florida (“1000 First”). 1000 First is being developed into a 15-story high-rise building named “Viv.” Viv will be comprised of two 11-story residential towers above a 4-story parking garage, featuring approximately 269-apartment homes consisting of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units, with approximately 15,500 square feet of retail space located on the first level. We currently anticipate amenities will include a clubroom, fitness center, courtyard with a swimming pool, shared working space and a leasing office.

Location Overview

1000 First is located in the downtown district of St. Petersburg, one mile west of Tampa Bay and the downtown waterfront district and features direct access to downtown amenities such as public parking, restaurants, museums and cultural sites.

Construction Progress

Viv is steadily advancing, with significant progress in site work. To date, we are approximately 55% complete with deep foundation work. This work includes auger pile installation which have been installed at depths of 65 feet to 105 feet. These piles form the foundation of the structure. The on-site RSI (Reinforcing Steel Installer) is actively engaged in laying out and chipping piles, a pivotal step in the construction process. Furthermore, forming and reinforcing of the foundation pile caps have commenced.

In preparation for the next phases, temporary power locations have been prepped and stand ready for the electric company to deliver temporary transformers. This proactive approach should ensure a seamless power supply during the construction process, facilitating smooth operations on-site.

The critical installation of underground conduits is in progress, providing essential pathways for electrical and communication systems throughout the building.

Simultaneously, construction work is underway for the tower crane bases. Setting the stage for the much-anticipated tower crane erection which is scheduled to begin in Q3 2023. This event will mark a significant advancement in the construction process.
