The Tampa Bay Business Journal’s Ashley Gurbal Kritzer recently asked Larry Feldman his thoughts on the future of St. Petersburg’s Tropicana Field site. To Feldman the Trop property seems perfectly positioned for a redevelopment play that could attract millennials to the city. Office space in particular could make sense for the site. Downtown St. Pete, though traditionally anchored by its entertainment venues, is seeing increased demand for office space, and supply is dwindling. The highway access makes it even more attractive for office development. It’s a millennial site. Over time if you build enough critical mass there, that it could become a city within a city.
