Workforce Housing Being Developed for Pinellas Co. School Employees
Pinellas County Schools has chosen Tomlinson Community Partners to renovate the Tomlinson Building for workforce housing. TCP is a partnership between Alexander Goshen, Cornerstone Strategic Partners, and Dantes Partners. The building has been standing in the Mirror Lake neighborhood of St. Petersburg for 99 years.
“We must actively provide accessible and desirable housing options to attract and retain the best teachers and district employees,” noted Kevin Hendrick, Pinellas County Schools superintendent. “The innovative and collaborative approach of the Tomlinson Community Partners aligns with Pinellas County Schools’ goal to support the housing needs of our dedicated educators and employees.”
The project includes 225 residential units, 113 designated as workforce housing. These will cater to people making 90- to 120-percent of the area median income. Estimated rent is $1,263 – $1,609, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plan available. The remaining 112 units will be leased for market value.
