Grand Central Redevelopment Office

2744 Central Ave benefits from an increasingly rare combination of direct Central Avenue frontage and immediate proximity to some of St. Petersburg's most active independent retail and hospitality concepts. The property is flanked by Tampa Bay Drinkery, an established and operating craft cocktail bar with live music, and a five-unit, ground-floor-only retail building currently under construction — evidence of continued reinvestment on this block. Within a couple of blocks, the corridor is anchored by Bandit Coffee, The Garage Bar, Neighborhood Wine Shop, Wild Child, and Kaixo/Barra Barra (replacing Baba), among other established operators. Located within the Grand Central District, the property is minutes from Downtown St. Petersburg and sits along the corridor served by the SunRunner Bus Rapid Transit line connecting downtown St. Petersburg to St. Pete Beach. The Grand Central District has emerged as one of the city's most active small-format redevelopment corridors, characterized by adaptive reuse of mid-century commercial buildings, boutique retail, and destination food and beverage concepts, supported by continued reinvestment throughout St. Petersburg's urban core.
