“St. Petersburg is in desperate need of housing that is affordable for all income levels, and the St. Pete Chamber is committed to working with the City, Pinellas County, and local developers to increase the supply of affordable and workforce housing. This innovative adaptive reuse concept has the potential to deliver dozens of units that can be filled by locals and potential residents looking for affordable options. Thrive's plan to adapt a vacant "big box retail store" into co-living multifamily housing is the type of forward thinking we need to have to overcome the significant hurdles we face in solving this problem.” 

Chris Steinocher, President and CEO of St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce
