Water Club St. Pete Beach is a waterfront condo community planned for the east end of Corey Avenue, right on Boca Ciega Bay. Along with the condos, the plan includes a public park, a marina with public boat slips, and shops and a restaurant at street level. Here's everything we know so far. A few sources list slightly different numbers, so where they don't match, we give you the range.

What is Water Club St. Pete Beach?

It's two eight-story buildings with somewhere between 129 and 133 condos, depending on which version of the plan you're looking at. The developer is Kolter Urban, the condo side of The Kolter Group. Around here, Kolter is known for ONE St. Petersburg, Saltaire and Art House downtown, plus Water Club Snell Isle in St. Pete. GROH Architecture designed the buildings, and ID & Design International is doing the interiors (Team BeachSide).

The project was approved as Corey Landing and got its new name in September 2026, so you'll still see "Corey Landing" or "Corey Landings" in city records and older news stories (St. Pete Rising).

Where is Water Club St. Pete Beach?

It's going on the roughly 4.5-acre lot where Corey Avenue meets Boca Ciega Bay, right next to the Corey Causeway bridge, St. Pete Beach, FL 33706. No street address has been published yet. Over the years, the land held Leverock's Seafood House, the Bay Winds motel, Bay View Heights Apartments, Charlie's Transmissions and the Blue Parrott (Team BeachSide).

The lot has a long backstory: the city's 2016 "Sunrise Park" idea, an apartment plan that fell through, and the clearing crews started in November 2026. We covered all of it in What's Happening at the East End of Corey Avenue?

Water Club St. Pete Beach residences: sizes, bedrooms and features

  • Bedrooms: one to four bedrooms, plus penthouses.
  • Sizes: roughly 1,700 to 3,800 square feet. Earlier descriptions started two-bedroom plans at about 1,718 square feet; the newest ones say about 1,800 to 3,800.
  • Views: every home gets its own terrace looking out over the bay.
  • Ceilings: up to 10 feet, and 11 feet in the penthouses.
  • Privacy: private elevator lobbies.

Floor plans and finishes haven't been released yet (Team BeachSide).

  • A clubhouse with a bar and a gaming lounge
  • A 24-hour concierge and a lifestyle director
  • About 330 parking spaces for residents, out of more than 400 total

The marina and public boat slips

We've seen the marina described as anywhere from 31 to 39 slips. The most detailed breakdown is 31 private slips for residents plus 8 public slips, which is double the four public slips there today. The city asked for the extra public slips before it approved the project (Team BeachSide; St. Pete Rising).

From the docks, boats can head out to Pass-a-Grille Channel and the Gulf. The plan also adds a kayak launch and a public water taxi dock. The public slips open when the first restaurant opens or the park is finished, whichever comes first (St Pete Catalyst). Pricing for the private slips, and how they'll be handed out, hasn't been published.

The park and what the public gets

On Oct. 28, 2025, the St. Pete Beach City Commission approved the project 5-0 (The Gabber). In return, Kolter agreed to give back to the public:

  • A new waterfront park with a shaded pavilion and a promenade along the water, paid for by the developer
  • The 8 public boat slips, a kayak launch and a water taxi dock
  • More than 50 public and rideshare parking spaces
  • Seawall repairs along the site
  • A one-time $150,000 payment to the city to help maintain the public land

Shops and a restaurant on Corey Avenue

The street side of the project faces Corey Avenue, with somewhere around 11,000 to 12,000 square feet of shops and restaurant space. The approved plan shows a separate 11,000-square-foot building, and the newer materials say about 12,000 (Team BeachSide). No tenants have been announced yet.

When will Water Club St. Pete Beach open?

Here's the timeline so far:

  • Late 2024: Kolter buys the land, about $15.1 million in all (St Pete Catalyst).
  • February 2025: Kolter shows a first plan with 162 condos (St. Pete Rising).
  • Oct. 28, 2025: the city approves a smaller plan with 133 condos.
  • September 2026: the project becomes Water Club St. Pete Beach, now at 129 condos.
  • November 2026: crews start clearing brush and trees on the lot.
  • Sales: in October 2026, Kolter said the sales launch was a few months away (Team BeachSide). The official site lists the sales gallery as coming soon.
  • Construction: expected to start sometime between mid and late 2027 (Florida YIMBY; Team BeachSide).

No opening date has been announced. Condo buildings this size often take 24 to 36 months to build (Team BeachSide), so our back-of-the-napkin guess is 2029 or 2030 at the earliest. That's our math, not Kolter's.

Water Club St. Pete Beach prices

Prices haven't been released yet, and neither have HOA fees. For a rough idea, Kolter's Water Club Snell Isle in St. Pete, finished in 2014, has recently resold for about $570 to $800 a square foot (#709, #701). Using those numbers, an 1,800-square-foot home here could land somewhere around $1 million to $1.4 million, and a 3,800-square-foot one around $2.2 million to $3 million. That's only a guess: new construction on the bay could easily come in higher.

What's still unknown

  • Prices and HOA fees
  • Floor plans and finishes
  • The final condo count (129 to 133)
  • Which shops and restaurant are coming
  • Pricing for the private boat slips
  • Whether short-term rentals will be allowed
  • Where the sales gallery will be
  • A groundbreaking date and a completion date
