LARGO — Urban Edge Development specializes in the hard-to-do. The company builds condos and apartments in challenging neighborhoods where other developers might stay away.
It has done this successfully in Tampa and St. Petersburg. But downtown Largo is proving to be a tough nut to crack.
“I enjoy going into neighborhoods that I believe are on the cusp of turning for the better,” said Urban Edge’s president, Russ Versaggi. “It takes a keen eye and some fortitude, to be sure. But it’s very rewarding to see these areas come back to life.”
