I'm sure the pictures are great, but unless you are going to share your AOL user name and password with us so that we can login to your email account - we won't be able to see them.

that did not work. Go to "Post reply" click on the icon with the mountains in it, paste in the url for the picture itself - that should do it - and do a preview

Hi Clearwater.

Kese · December 4th, 2007, 05:39 PM

In the past few days I have been coming back to this section of skyscrapercity for news, updates, photos, whatever. There is nothing. So what's up? Everybody dead at that end of the ocean? Florida is kaput? Or the last real eswtate agent has sold the last property and paradise has kicked in? Anybody out there?

Jasonhouse · December 5th, 2007, 04:14 AM

Who knows. This is the deadest the Tampa community has been on SSC in at least 2-3 years. No idea why, but I would guess that either a lot of folks have lost interest now that development is floundering, or some other new local forum started that people are going to.

randommichael · December 5th, 2007, 09:58 PM

With the holidays and lack of new projects coming forward, I think people have chosen to focus on other things.

blackjetta1100 · December 5th, 2007, 10:03 PM

Thanks for posting the pictures! What do you all think? Those views are beautiful!!
By the way, I hear that the new name of this project is "The strand, at Clearwater Centre"...
Our Downtown will look sooo good with this new project!!

Jasonhouse · December 5th, 2007, 10:15 PM

Yes, it will certainly add to DT Clearwater, especially a bit further inland, where it's especially dead... The problem is, with the credit crunch and collapsed housing market, there probably isn't going to be anything complimentary built near it for quite some time.

I like that the changes are so thorough as to make it seem like an all new building on the skyline... And being a few feet taller because of that little cupola won't hurt either... haha

Prince Victor · December 6th, 2007, 04:39 PM

Great photos.

Keep up the great work and thank you, guys for taking the time to take the pictures and share it with all of us here at Skyscraper community. Your work is truly appreciated. Again, thanks for updating the pictures.

County looking at proposal for Toytown landfill

By Times Staff Writer
Published December 9, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pinellas County

While Pinellas County evaluates proposals to redevelop the Toytown landfill east of Interstate 275 at Roosevelt Boulevard, one submittal has risen to the top of the stack. County purchasing officials are looking at a proposal from Industrial Realty Group/Bear Creek Capital, and if it stands up, the concept could go to the County Commission this spring. The proposal would have the 300-acre site become the Parks at Pinellas County, which would include more than 800,000 square feet of retail space, 250,000 square feet of hotel and convention center space, 1.5-million square feet of corporate office space, 2,100 residential units, almost 15,000 parking spaces, a 50,000-square-foot community center, softball and soccer fields, tennis and volleyball courts, and skate, dog and water parks.

You can find copies of the 3 proposals submitted here:

Jasonhouse · December 10th, 2007, 09:51 PM

Sounds like suburban densities are proposed for a site in the heart of the metro... I'm sorry, but you don't build roughly 5 mil sqft of development on a 13mil sqft plot of land located where this land is located. It's a gross underuse of the land, which will inevitably result in another square mile or two of land getting paved over on the fringes. Hell, any of the village-like 'town centers' sprouting up around the area probably have a higher FAR number.

Jahi98 · December 11th, 2007, 08:32 PM

This may be the heart of the metro, but it's still rather suburban. I think the leading proposal is decent (minus the surface parking) and appears as though additional density could fairly easily be added in the future based on the grid pattern of the streets. I don't know if that's intentional, or just the way it happens to be laid out.

Jasonhouse · December 11th, 2007, 08:46 PM

^Hey all I'm saying is that the project's FAR is less than the ratio of the 2 story townhouse development I live in... That's a problem imo.

gstolze · December 11th, 2007, 08:49 PM

This looks really nice. Has anyone heard of this development?
