Mixed-Use Townhome Community ‘Strum Place’ Nearing Completion in West St. Pete

• Townhomes: Each of the nine three-story units offers 2,040 square feet of living space, featuring three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, expansive second-floor balconies, two-car garages, and chef’s kitchens with quartz countertops. Buyers have options for high-end design finishes and private elevators. Three corner units include private fenced side yards, catering to pet owners. Five townhomes are under contract, with remaining units priced starting in the $700,000s.
• Historic Preservation: The 100-year-old Strum House is being renovated to house Heart + Paw, a veterinary and grooming clinic, preserving the site’s historical significance.
• Environmental Considerations: The development preserves four mature oak trees along 64th Street, enhancing privacy and maintaining the neighborhood’s tree canopy.
• Location: Situated along the SunRunner bus rapid transit route, Strum Place offers convenient access to downtown St. Petersburg and nearby amenities.

Backstreets Capital, in collaboration with J Square Developers, has been instrumental in the development of Strum Place, demonstrating a commitment to integrating modern living spaces with historical preservation. The project reflects Backstreets Capital’s dedication to enhancing community infrastructure while respecting the cultural heritage of St. Petersburg.

The exclusive brokerage team at Smith & Associates, led by Stephanie Pia and Christopher Pitre, is managing sales. An open house is scheduled for January 23rd from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The project is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy by the first quarter of this year.
