Developers plan to transform the vacant lot that once housed Bradenton’s city hall into a 7-story luxury apartment building with nearly 400 units. The City of Bradenton’s Community Redevelopment Agency Board unanimously supported the idea at its June 11 meeting and moved the application forward. The action directed staff and legal counsel to create a more detailed contract and return to the board.
The upcoming project is listed as a mixed-use development with 367 apartment units, a rooftop restaurant, retail space and other services in the building, which would be built at 500 15th St. West. These components are estimated to bring over 100 jobs, according to the presentation. Behind the project is Coral Gables-based Allen Morris Company, which plans to spend $130 million to redevelop the 3.7-acre parcel currently owned by Manatee County.
