Tampa St. Petersburg, FL, August 15, 2026 —
The St. Petersburg Development Review Commission has granted approval for a revised warehouse development project slated for 1201 102nd Ave. N. The new proposal encompasses a total of nearly 296,000 square feet of warehouse space.
The project’s approval follows an initial period of opposition, primarily stemming from a request to remove all qualifying specimen trees from the site. In response to these concerns, the development plan underwent redesign. The revised proposal includes adjustments to the building’s placement, a reduction in the amount of parking allocated, and a commitment to preserving a cluster of mature trees.
During the commission’s review, there was discussion regarding the balance between the needs of the development and the imperative of tree preservation. Commissioners deliberated on the appropriate extent of tree retention in relation to the project’s overall scope and impact.
