On August 4th, the St. Petersburg city council approved the concept design for the pier approach. After the concept design was approved, W and Wannemacher Jensen Architects began working on schematic design.The pier approach will connect the downtown core to the pier with an active and coordinated sequence of facilities and venues, using the downtown Waterfront Master Plan as a guide. We were in St. Petersburg last week for a public meeting – to give the community an update and to work directly with residents to develop the project. We will be back in St. Petersburg this week for another public meeting. You can access all of the presentations, renderings, and design documents for the project on the city's website.
