USF to reach out to retirees with downtown community

The planned community will lie just north of the USF St. Petersburg campus.

ST. PETERSBURG (Bay News 9) -- A new addition aimed at retirees is coming to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.

According to Bay News 9's partner paper, the St. Petersburg Times, the developers of a $250-million retirement community linked to USF St. Petersburg plan to kick off sales next month.

The community will be built Harborside on the block between Fourth Avenue S. and Delmar Terrace Street. It will consist of two towers, each about 30 stories high. One building will be dedicated to health care, while the other will have over 200 apartments.

USF professors will teach onsite classes that will be open to the community. Students will also have the opportunity to work with the residents.

Developers say completion on the project is about five years away.
