“Downtown St. Pete is different from the downtown of basically every other U.S. city—so little of it is given over to office high rises and the emphasis on housing feels like it’s really paying dividends post-pandemic because unlike a lot of U.S. cities, downtown St. Pete is absolutely bustling. The city has really prioritized street life and walkability, and the urban form really reflects a local culture that’s oriented around year-round outside living.”
Ray Delahanty, CityNerd urban planner
Our walkable downtown includes the Waterfront, Central Arts, and Pier Districts, where restaurants, retail, and recreation abound, and public art is around every corner.

The St. Pete Innovation District brings together private enterprise, public entities, and academia in the life science, tech, marine science, entrepreneurship, and education sectors.
