Affordable Housing Boosts St. Pete’s New Tower | Tampa News

St. Petersburg’s new 13-story residential tower, Residences at 1663, is poised to reshape the city’s housing landscape by setting aside 48 affordable units—home to families earning up to 80% of the area median income—thanks to a bold pivot toward federal disaster recovery funding. With nearly $5 million requested from the city and City Council set to vote soon, this mixed-use project delays construction until early 2027, aiming for completion by summer 2028. Designed with short-term rentals alongside affordable housing, it’s not just a building—it’s a blueprint for scalable, inclusive urban growth, inspired by Tampa’s success and built for a city that’s growing fast.
