This could be one of the most unique condo projects near the St. Petersburg waterfront. The proposed design for the Peninsula calls for building a thin, glass and concrete condominium tower 366 feet into the air resembling a gossamer sail. The $90 million to $125 million project, designed so it wouldn't block the water views of nearby Bayfront Tower, also will feature a water wall that slides down the side of a five-story garage from a pool on top.
Ralph Johnson of Perkins Will, a Chicago firm known for designing Boeing's headquarters, helped create the Peninsula's distinctive design. It gained initial city approval last week. The Peninsula, planned on the block where the former Cramer Federal Building now stands, will be 34 stories high and have 232 condominium units.
