Overvue Condos
Certus Development, LLC is transforming a building into condominiums, ranging from the $200,000s to the $600,000s. Located at 939 Beach Dr NE in St Petersburg, it's only a few blocks from downtown, on the edge of The Old Northeast neighborhood, and overlooking some of St Pete's wonderful parks along Tampa Bay. You can walk to restaurants, shops, the movies, art museums, art-music-food festivals, and lots of parks.
When I first knew this building, a few years ago, it was an Assisted Living facility and we were moving my mother there. After a trial in that "cruiseship without the boat" she decided to stay and was lucky to get a unit on the top floor, in a corner with a fantastic view of the water and downtown. We kept telling her how expensive this would be as a condo. While it lasted for her, it was a great place - they offered choices, very good meals, entertainment, Happy Hour every afternoon with at least wine and cheese, trips out to restaurants, and a weekly tour to some place of interest in the city. She left before they closed.
Now the developers are transforming the building, adding a desirable pool, fitness center, contemporary look - new windows, larger kitchens with granite counters, and much more. It will open in the summer of 2008.
It's nice when you can repurpose a building instead of tearing it down and starting over.
Sharon,
I enjoyed reading how much your mother enjoyed this building and now another generation will enjoy it as well. Yes, it is a blessing.
