A Miami based real estate investment firm, Torose Equities, acquired retail space at Modera St. Petersburg (201 17th St. S.), a 20-story, luxury, mixed-use community developed by Mill Creek Residential. The retail space Torose Equities acquired totals 14,000-square-foot mixed-use retail space (the entire ground level of the Modera).
The Modera intersects three of St. Pete’s most robust areas: the EDGE District, Grand Central District, and the Warehouse Arts District, as well as being adjacent to the Historic Gas Plant redevelopment project, positioning Torose Equities in a burgeoning area that will increase with pedestrian traffic and businesses.
