You are looking at an award-winning pier. That’s right — the St. Pete Pier has been selected as a winner of the Urban Land Institute’s 2022 ULI Global Awards for Excellence. We share the honor with five other designs worldwide including:

  • Essex Crossing in New York City
  • Anken Alley in Shanghai
  • Enabling Village in Singapore
  • MÉCA in Bordeaux
  • Norblin Factory in Warsaw

We love the pier for its 26 acres of downtown waterfront including an aquatic learning center, ship-themed playground, Museum of History, and numerous dining options. Pro tip, if you haven’t eaten at Doc Ford’s Rum Bar and Grille, you should. It has the best view of the spectacular structure.
