Stadiums, hotels, multifamily and museums: St. Pete releases proposals for Trop redevelopment

Just days after announcing four development groups had submitted proposals for the redevelopment of the 86-acre Tropicana Field site in the heart of St. Petersburg’s historic Gas Plant district, the city made the reports public.

The proposals, which are available on the city’s website, each address the key requirements the city laid out when it issued a RFP in August: a 17.3-acre carve-out for a baseball stadium; specific requirements for affordable and workforce housing; and new details that respond to current economic and societal conditions and community sentiment.

According to the city, a selection will be made in early 2023.
