Montauk Bus expanding with Yaphank acquisition

David Winzelberg • September 24, 2026

Montauk Bus is expanding its presence in Yaphank after acquiring a new industrial property.

Sills Road 124 LLC, an affiliate of Montauk Bus, purchased a 10,000-square-foot building on 6.3 acres at 124 Sills Road for $7.895 million. The company’s affiliate, MBS Fleet LLC, already owns the adjacent 4.8-acre property at 126 Sills Road.

Founded in 1972, Montauk Bus provides transportation services for several Long Island school districts, as well as charter bus services for events.

The property at 124 Sills Road had been occupied by East End Group, which purchased it for $2.45 million in 2019.

Bob Desmond of Industry One Realty represented the buyer, while Jeremy Hackett of Metro Realty Services represented the seller, 124 Sills Rd. LLC, in the sales transaction.

Construction begins on Azalea Cay, a 1,000-unit apartment community in west St. Pete

September 28, 2026

Construction is underway on Azalea Cay, a planned 1,000-unit apartment community on the former Raytheon property in west St. Pete.

Tampa-based Metro Development Group, St. Pete-based Porter Development, and local elected officials broke ground Monday morning on the first phase of the project at 1501 72nd Street North, near Azalea Park and Tyrone Square Mall.

The $109.8 million first phase will bring 341 apartments, including 102 income-restricted homes.

Fifty-one apartments will be reserved for households earning up to 80% of the area median income (AMI), while another 51 will be available to households earning up to 120% of AMI.

“I look around and I envision someday teachers, nurses, first responders coming home from a tough day at work and calling Azalea Cay home,” Les Porter, president of Porter Development, said during the ceremony. “Maybe one of the big reasons why they’re still able to live in St. Pete is because of the rent associated with their apartment.”

The units were initially planned to remain affordable for at least 30 years; however, it was extended to 50 years after negotiations with city and county staff, Porter said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising during the ceremony.

The remaining 239 apartments will rent at market rate.

The project, formerly known as Azalea Gateway, is planned across three phases and will ultimately bring about 1,000 apartments to the 29-acre site. About 300 of those homes are expected to be designated as affordable or workforce housing.

The first phase will feature one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments across three buildings. Plans also call for a clubhouse, leasing office, fitness center, yoga room, game room, pool, and pet spa.

Metro Development Group’s involvement marks a new direction for the Tampa-based developer, which is best known for large master-planned communities in Pasco County.

Azalea Cay is the company’s first multifamily community.

“This is a super exciting project,” Porter said. “I look forward to seeing it come to fruition and couldn’t be more excited to be part of something as big as this in the city of St. Petersburg.”

The development is supported by $11.25 million in public funding. The City of St. Petersburg committed $6 million to the first phase, while Pinellas County provided $5.25 million through Penny for Pinellas funds.

Earlier this month, the development team secured $75 million in construction financing from Valley Bank for Azalea Cay’s first phase.

Mayor Ken Welch said the investment would help create homes for the people who keep the city running.

“$6 million that will help deliver 341 new apartments, including 102 affordable or workforce apartments,” Welch said. “For the firefighters, for the teachers, for the city workers, for folks who make our city work, they’ll be able to live here in 102 of those homes in the first phase.”

The property has seen a number of proposals before reaching this point.

Porter began pursuing redevelopment plans in 2019, when an early proposal called for a 150,000-square-foot sports tourism complex, a public recreational lagoon and beach area, and apartments.

The plan drew neighborhood opposition, and Forward Pinellas denied the needed land-use amendment for the sports facility.

Porter withdrew that proposal and later shifted to the apartment community now under construction.

“What initially attracted me to this site was its size. It’s hard to find land of this scale in Pinellas County. We are taking what was an environmentally tainted land and making it something that will make a difference for the community,” said Porter, who purchased the site in 2021 for $10.5 million.

The residential development was approved in 2023 using a state housing law that allows residential development on industrially zoned land when at least 30% of the units are designated as affordable or workforce housing.

The property was used from 1958 through 2008 by E-Systems, later acquired by Raytheon, for communications hardware and defense-electronics manufacturing. It later underwent environmental remediation, and FDEP has approved the site for redevelopment subject to ongoing restrictions.

On Monday, however, the focus was on the future—and on the affordable and workforce housing Azalea Cay will bring to St. Pete.

“We know there’s no single project or policy that can solve that challenge,” Welch said. “But it takes sustained investment, creative solutions, and strong partnerships. And Azalea Cay is a great example of what that partnership can accomplish.”

According to an updated timeline, construction for Phase 1 is expected to take 24 months, with completion and leasing to begin by early 2029.

Porter said it would take about two years for each phase once construction commences.

Green Bench Brewing opens a new b**r bar Upstairs at Webb’s in downtown St. Pete

September 24, 2026

For years, the second floor of a downtown St. Pete b**r and w**e bar has been used mostly for private events and overflow seating.

This weekend, Green Bench Brewing will turn that space into a new concept of its own.

Upstairs at Webb’s will begin service Friday, September 25th, at 4 p.m. above Webb’s City Cellar, Green Bench Brewing’s specialty b**r and w**e bar at 1133 Baum Avenue North.

The new bar and lounge will launch during Green Bench’s 13th anniversary celebration, offering a beverage program built around a somewhat unexpected idea: texture.

“The menu itself is completely built around the concept of texture and how you can use texture to manipulate the experience with products,” Green Bench Brewing owner and brewer Khris Johnson said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “It’s supposed to be exploration-focused, a deep dive into not just products, but service and hospitality centered around b**r that you just don’t get anywhere else.”

That idea will shape nearly every drink served upstairs.

A b**r poured downstairs or next door at Green Bench may also be available upstairs, but it will not necessarily taste or feel the same.

Upstairs at Webb’s will sometimes use specialized side-lever faucets and Japanese-inspired pouring methods designed to change a b**r’s carbonation, foam, and mouthfeel.

One of those methods is a Matsuo-style pour, named for Tokyo bartender Kohei Matsuo, whose technique creates a dense, creamy head of foam.

Another is a sharp pour, which emphasizes carbonation.

Upstairs at Webb’s will also develop a house pour that combines elements of both approaches.

The opening tap list will include Mega Crisp, a new rice l***r made with whole-grain rice and designed as Green Bench’s take on Asahi Super Dry.

Johnson said the b**r may eventually appear elsewhere in the Green Bench orbit, but the particular experience created by its upstairs pour will remain exclusive to the new bar.

The program will also introduce cask-conditioned English b**r, a style Johnson has wanted to bring into the fold for a long time.

Unlike most draft b**rs, which are force-carbonated and served cold, cask b**rs continue naturally conditioning in the vessel. They are less carbonated, served warmer, and pulled by hand from the cellar through traditional b**r engines.

Green Bench will begin with Goodwin Sands, an English-style summer ale made with Tampa’s Late Start Brewing, and Mighty Fragile, a London porter. Both are made with traditional English ingredients and processes, including housemade invert sugar.

“The reason cask conditioning is important is because it completely changes the texture of the products,” Johnson said. “These b**rs are naturally carbonated instead of the forced carbonation. They’re also served at a warmer temperature, so we’re playing with temperature to manipulate texture as well.”

B**r is at the center of the program, but not the only medium. Upstairs at Webb’s will also offer sparkling w**es, ports, ciders, and a small menu of w**e-based mixed drinks.

The bubbles in a sparkling w**e, the silky body of a port, and the spritzy or velvety character of a mixed drink all fit into the same larger conversation.

That sense of discovery has always been central to Webb’s City Cellar, which has built a following around Belgian b**rs, barrel-aged releases, spontaneous fermentation, and other styles that often require a little explanation before the first sip.

Upstairs at Webb’s will continue that tradition, with staff guiding guests through not only what they are drinking, but why it is being served that way.

The decision to finally activate the space came after several years of rebuilding momentum at Webb’s after the difficult post-pandemic years.

In 2024, the bar was named a James Beard Award semifinalist for Outstanding Bar, recognition that Johnson said gave the team a meaningful boost.

“It was huge for us and a big morale boost for the team because we all were working really hard to try to get Webb’s back to where it was and get people interested in these products again,” he said.

Upstairs at Webb’s will initially be open Thursdays from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 4 p.m. to midnight.

Johnson said the team will let the concept grow organically, focusing first on getting every detail right.

In addition to Green Bench Brewing, Webb’s City Cellar, and Upstairs at Webb’s, Johnson and his partners Nathan Stonecipher, Steven Duffy, and Brian Wing recently opened a taproom in downtown Tampa.

Morean Arts Center reveals renderings for proposed five-story expansion in downtown St. Pete

September 24, 2026

St. Petersburg’s oldest arts institution is preparing for the most ambitious expansion in its more than 100-year history.

New renderings have been revealed for the first phase of Arts Center Association, Inc.’s $34 million expansion at 719 Central Avenue in downtown St. Pete.

The redevelopment calls for a new five-story arts center on an existing surface parking lot at the corner of 8th Street and Central Avenue, bringing the Arts Center and the Chihuly Collection, currently located across the street at 720 Central Avenue, under one roof.

Designed by Wannemacher Jensen Architects, the new building would feature a largely white exterior wrapped in slender vertical fins.

At street level, a sweeping, wave-like opening would rise from the ground floor and fold into the façade, creating a sculptural entrance inspired by the fluid forms and luminous colors of Dale Chihuly’s glasswork.

“We are at a consequential moment in the evolution of the Arts Center,” Arts Center Executive Director Howayda Affan said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “This redevelopment is about far more than expanding our physical footprint; it is an opportunity to reimagine how an arts institution can serve a growing and increasingly dynamic city.”

The lower level is designed with expansive glass walls, a recessed public entrance, gallery space, and a gift shop. A series of sculptural spiral staircases would connect the floors.

The second level would house the Chihuly Collection while upper floors would include artist classrooms and administrative offices.

“By bringing the Chihuly Collection, contemporary art exhibitions, education programs and community initiatives together in one integrated arts center, we can create a more cohesive and compelling experience for our audiences while significantly expanding our capacity for creativity, learning and engagement,” Affan said.

Construction is currently anticipated to begin in late 2027 and take about 18 months.

A second phase, which would entail the demolition of the existing arts center, is projected to follow between 2028 and 2030, although details could continue to evolve as fundraising and design move forward.

Pinellas County commissioners are scheduled to give final approval of a $2.225 million funding agreement for the project at their September 24th meeting. The funding, which would come from the county’s Tourist Development Tax, commonly known as the bed tax, would support the first phase of the Arts Center’s redevelopment plans.

According to Affan, the project has generated significant interest from the community, donors, and partners, and the Arts Center is continuing to build the private support needed to advance the redevelopment.

The fundraising effort will continue alongside design and construction as the organization moves toward this significant investment in St. Petersburg’s cultural infrastructure.

As part of the funding agreement, the Arts Center would work with Visit St. Pete-Clearwater on tourism promotion and visitor engagement over a 10-year period.

The agreement includes permanent recognition signage, marketing collaboration, media-tour opportunities, and annual visitor reporting.

The redevelopment is expected to increase annual attendance and expand the Arts Center’s capacity to serve both local residents and visitors.

Founded in 1917 as the Art Club of St. Petersburg, the Arts Center has played a central role in the city’s arts community for more than a century.

The organization now operates the Arts Center and Chihuly Collection downtown, and the Morean Center for Clay in the Warehouse Arts District.

The organization was also recently recognized as a City of St. Petersburg Legacy Business, reflecting its longstanding role in the cultural life of the community.

Today, the Arts Center’s mission is to connect people with art, with a particular focus on making art accessible to everyone.

Its programs reach children, seniors, veterans, people living with dementia and others who may face barriers to participating in the arts.

The redevelopment will expand the organization’s capacity to provide these experiences while strengthening its contribution to St. Petersburg’s cultural and economic vitality by attracting visitors and creating additional opportunities for residents and tourists to engage with the arts.

“Our plan is to build an institution that reflects the vitality of St. Petersburg today and has the vision, capacity and relevance to contribute to its cultural life for decades to come,” Affan said.

Former USF basketball star to open Love Language 727 restaurant and lounge in Grand Central District

September 21, 2026

A St. Pete native and former USF basketball star is preparing to open what he calls a love letter to his hometown.

Love Language 727 Restaurant & Lounge will open in October at 3063 Central Avenue in the Grand Central District.

The space was previously home to 31 Grand, a sports bar that closed in late 2024 following back-to-back hurricanes. Before that, it housed Punky’s Bar and Grill, an LGBTQ-friendly establishment that closed in 2022 after nearly seven years in business.

Owner Jimmy Devon Baxter is returning to St. Pete after nearly two decades in Atlanta, where he said he was inspired by the city’s experience-driven restaurant and lounge scene.

After graduating from Boca Ciega High School, he played basketball for the University of South Florida from 2000 to 2004.

During his senior year, Baxter received the NCAA Award of Valor for helping rescue two men trapped inside a vehicle following a violent crash. The City of Tampa also presented him with a key to the city for his efforts.

After graduating from USF, Baxter moved to Atlanta, where he was based while playing professional basketball throughout Europe.

He said Love Language will blend restaurant service, a full bar, ho**ah, and entertainment in a setting that feels more polished than a traditional bar without becoming a nightclub.

“I’m bringing an Atlanta feel to St. Pete,” Baxter said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “Atlanta is known for having restaurants with a sexy, party vibe. We want to create an atmosphere where it’s a step above a bar, but not a club.”

The 2,500-square-foot restaurant will accommodate about 100 guests across its dining room, large bar, and 1,500-square-foot covered patio.

Baxter said the interior will feature low lighting, leather furnishings, red accents, and an elevated lounge atmosphere. Guests will be able to smoke ho**ah indoors or on the patio, where ci**rs will also be permitted.

The dinner menu will lean into Southern comfort food, with blackened salmon, baked oysters, seafood mac and cheese, steaks, pasta, and the Love Language burger among the planned offerings.

A quicker lunch menu will include salads, burgers, catfish bites, wings, and Alfredo pasta.

Sunday brunch will feature dishes like chicken and waffles and fish and grits, along with mimosas and a complimentary fresh-fruit bar.

An Atlanta-based mixologist is developing three signature cocktails: a rum punch, margarita, and Long Island iced tea. Additionally, several drinks will be named after Baxter’s children, all of whom are Division I athletes.

Baxter said he wants to keep prices accessible, with drinks generally priced around $10 to $11.

Love Language plans to serve lunch from noon to 3 p.m. and dinner beginning at 3:30 p.m., with the kitchen taking its last orders at 1 a.m. Baxter expects to operate seven days a week.

The restaurant will be family-friendly during the day, while guests must be 25 or older after 6 p.m.

The lounge will also host karaoke, open mic nights, DJs, and occasional performances by local musicians.

Planned recurring events include Wind Down Wednesdays, Karaoke Thursdays, R&B Fridays, Pride Day Saturdays, Jersey Sundays, and a monthly Gospel Sunday.

Baxter said safety will be central to the operation. In addition to the restaurant’s on-site lot, he has arranged evening overflow parking with nearby businesses and plans to offer complimentary valet service for women. Security guards will monitor the restaurant and surrounding parking areas.

“The love language came from my love of being a father, my love for family,” Baxter said. “Now I’m opening my doors to extended family. St. Pete is my extended family.”

Madeira Beach’s longtime Winn-Dixie will reopen as an Aldi this week

September 22, 2026

Madeira Beach’s longtime grocery store is reopening this week in a new format.

Aldi will debut this Thursday, September 24th, at 15200 Municipal Drive in Carter Plaza, across from Archibald Beach Park and R.O.C. Park.

The store replaces the former Winn-Dixie, which closed last year after more than 50 years in business. The Municipal Drive store was built in 1975 and had operated as a Winn-Dixie ever since.

Winn-Dixie Liquors will remain open.

To mark the grand opening, the first 200 customers in line Thursday will receive a bag of branded items and a “golden ticket,” an Aldi gift card worth up to $100. Employees will also distribute free Aldi shopping totes throughout the day.

The store will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Aldi said the Madeira Beach location will offer fresh and organic produce delivered daily, along with cheese, w**e, gluten-free products, and plant-based options.

Known for its streamlined store model, Aldi carries a curated mix of products that is heavily weighted toward its own exclusive brands. The company says those brands account for about 90% of its inventory and that families who switch to Aldi-exclusive products can save nearly $4,000 annually.

The shopping experience also differs from a traditional supermarket. Customers bag their own groceries, bring reusable bags or purchase bags in-store, and insert a quarter deposit to unlock a shopping cart. The quarter is returned when the cart is brought back.

Aldi will occupy roughly 22,000 square feet, or about half of the former 44,000-square-foot Winn-Dixie. The remaining 22,000 square feet has been reserved for a future tenant. Colliers, the brokerage marketing the remaining space, said it is in discussions with several prospective tenants but has not yet signed a lease.

The 64,000-square-foot Carter Plaza shopping center is also home to Bronze Lady Home Furnishings, Colette’s Fashions, Smoke Bros, and a CVS Pharmacy outparcel building. Dollar Tree closed earlier this year.

The Madeira Beach opening is part of Aldi’s broader conversion of former Winn-Dixie locations following its March 2024 acquisition of Southeastern Grocers.

Aldi said it has converted and opened nearly 90 former Southeastern Grocers stores across Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Mississippi, with plans to convert more than 200 locations by the end of 2027.

With the Madeira Beach opening, Aldi now has 17 stores in Pinellas County, including five in St. Petersburg and two in Pinellas Park.

Venezuelan star Carúpano Kitchen to open brick-and-mortar restaurant this fall

September 21, 2026

Carúpano Kitchen, the mother-daughter-run Venezuelan sensation, is getting ready to open its first brick-and-mortar this fall. The Foodie Labs star has secured a location for a restaurant at 1040 4th Street North, and the team is anticipating a mid-November debut.

The restaurant is named for the small coastal town of Carúpano in Venezuela, where the family is from, and the regionally-inspired dishes have become fast favorites. The handmade, gluten-free arepas are the star of the menu, though the Carúpano team offers plenty more than that. Andrea Osorio (Carúpano’s founder) and her mother, Dian Cedeño, also make fantastic empanadas, soups from family recipes, tequenos, and other rotating specials.

The November opening will mark exactly one year since Carúpano debuted at Foodie Labs (515 22nd St S), where they quickly became something of a cult sensation. It’s also proof of concept for the business incubator that is designed to help budding chefs build a following and grow enough to open a full brick-and-mortar.

Indeed, Carúpano and Osorio have used the last year to experiment, gauge the tastes of guests, and fine-tune their offerings. By moving into a larger space, the restaurant will expand on its goal of serving all diets, creating what Osorio calls a place “where EVERYONE eats!” It’s a destination for the gluten-free, vegan, meat lovers, soup fiends, and those, like me, who just love any form of fried dough bursting with fillings and flavors.

Even today, that accessibility is a key part of the menu. Not only is everything at Carúpano fresh and handmade, but the corn-based arepa and empanada doughs are gluten-free, while all of the housemade sauces are dairy-free and vegan. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, and the menu is largely allergen-friendly.

Between all of our team at I Love the Burg, we’ve had pretty much the entire menu, though I’ll give a big shoutout to one dish in particular: The “La de Chicharrón” arepa. A regional staple around the town of Carúpano, the arepa itself is made with a fried pork belly-stuffed dough and then filled with ‘queso de mano,’ a Venezuelan cheese similar to mozzarella. We order ours with a side of grilled and sliced Venezuelan chorizo and a housemade hot sauce. 10 out of 10, would (and have) eat again.

The most popular arepa on the menu is the shredded beef and gouda, while the steak arepa and “The Queen” (stuffed with avocado chicken salad) are top sellers, as well. With so many fantastic Venezuelan and arepa spots in the area, it’s a fun culinary journey to work your way through the different regions and specialties of the country at each local spot.

And of course, you can still catch all that great food between now and November at Foodie Labs, where they are open Wednesday-Sunday from 11 am to 7 pm, as well as occasional pop-ups around town.

Carúpano Kitchen brought something new to the area when Osorio, her partner, and her mother took a chance just under one year ago at Foodie Labs. Osorio says that opening was equal parts exciting and terrifying. The response in the 10 months since has proved they made the right choice.

“It felt like putting our favorite family recipes on display for people to critique, and to our surprise, people have loved it,” Osorio said. “Some have never tried Venezuelan food before and simply love that we have gluten-free and vegan options. On the other side, we also get all of the Venezuelans away from home that say our soups remind them of their grandma’s soup (the biggest compliment you can give us). Or that they come to Carúpano Kitchen when they are feeling homesick, sad, or actually sick. Our food is Venezuelan soul food at its core.”

Be sure to follow Carúpano Kitchen on Instagram and stay tuned to I Love the Burg for updates on the big opening of the new spot.

NJ Burrito Chain Expands In Tampa Bay Area

A NJ-based Mexican-fusion chain has opened a new restaurant in Pasco County as it expands in the greater Tampa Bay area.

Tiffany Razzano • Sep 16, 2026

WESLEY CHAPEL, FL — A New Jersey-based chain known for burritos, quesadillas and other Mexican-fusion fare is expanding in the Tampa Bay area with a new restaurant in Pasco County.

The restaurant, which is locally owned and operated, is the chain’s second location in Pasco County. It also has a location in Zephyrhills.

To celebrate the opening, the first 30 customers who make a qualifying purchase will receive free burritos for a year, equivalent to one free burrito each month.

The restaurant chain was founded in 2008 in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, and has grown to more than 140 locations across 17 states, according to the company.

Other Florida locations, in addition to Wesley Chapel, include Boca Raton, Cape Coral, Celebration, Coral Springs, Estero, Jacksonville, Lake Mary, Melbourne, Miramar, O-West Village/Lake Buena Vista, Orlando, Palm Bay, Plant City, Riverview, Stuart and Zephyrhills.

National Discount Grocer Expands In Spring Hill With Second Store

A national discount grocer is opening a new Spring Hill store at a former Winn-Dixie location.

Tiffany Razzano • Sep 11, 2026

SPRING HILL, FL — Aldi will open its second Spring Hill location next week, bringing another grocery option for shoppers in the area.

The new store, converted from a Winn-Dixie, at 4221 Mariner Blvd., will hold a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:45 a.m. on Thursday, according to a news release from the company.

As part of the grand-opening celebration, the first 200 customers will receive a gift bag containing samples of Aldi-exclusive products and a gift card through the company's Golden Ticket giveaway program.

Matt Thon, Aldi’s regional vice president, said the new location is intended to give Spring Hill shoppers another way to save on their weekly grocery trips.

"At our new Spring Hill Aldi store, customers will see why so many already choose ALDI for their weekly grocery shopping," he said in a statement. "As shoppers look to stretch their dollar further, we’re excited to open this new location and bring more people a high-quality grocery selection they want and need at the lowest possible price."

The newly converted store will carry fresh produce, organic options, meats, seafood, cheese and other groceries, along with Aldi's exclusive brands. The company said nearly 90 percent of the products it sells are exclusive brands.

The store also will feature Aldi Finds, the retailer's rotating selection of limited-time food, household, seasonal and other merchandise.

Grocery delivery and curbside pickup also are available at nearly all Aldi locations, although availability varies by store

The Spring Hill opening is part of Aldi’s ongoing U.S. expansion. This latest location brings the brand closer to its goal of operating 3,200 stores nationwide by the end of 2028, the news release said.
