Last week the St. Petersburg City Council approved revised plans for Orange Station, which was originally set to be a condo development on the previous site of the city’s police headquarters.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Wendy Giffin is heading up leasing for the developers. 

The hotel, part of Mariott’s elite Autograph Collection, will include a bar and restaurant, meeting and event space, a fitness center, theater, and rooftop pool. It’s being developed by Ellison Development out of Tampa. Ellison is joined on other elements of the project by J Square Developers, DDA Development, and Backstreets Capital.

Construction could begin before the end of 2023.
