Pinellas County is seeking developers to build affordable housing in Lealman, located north of St. Petersburg.
The Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners and the Housing Finance Authority of Pinellas County (HFA) have issued a Request for Negotiations (RFN) for the sale and purchase or lease of 5.94 acres between 56th and 58th Avenues North and 39th and 42nd Streets North.
It was previously proposed to become an 86-unit affordable apartment project called Lealman Heights, however that plan has been cancelled.
The parcels, located across from Lealman Middle School and owned by the Housing Finance Authority, included 53 preexisting residential units.
