St. Pete Downtown Partnership Development Guide Continues to Drive Engagement
Introducing the Sixth Edition of Downtown Development Guide
The St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership promotes strategic change by identifying projects that will have a lasting impact on the city’s downtown by engaging community leaders in proactive, strategic action-oriented discussions. Since 2019, we have worked with them to support the downtown corridor by updating their membership materials, collateral, paid media, and online presence.
The Downtown Partnership recognized the need for a refreshed website that could better support their mission and showcase the Guide in a dynamic, accessible way. Launched in 2023, the new site not only highlights the Guide and other resources but also enhances the user experience, making it easier to navigate and update key content as the Partnership’s strategic work plan evolves each year. The site serves as an effective tool for the Downtown Partnership, keeping members informed and engaged while showcasing key data points and projects that drive the future of Downtown St. Pete.

Downtown St. Pete Development Guide
As an advocate for thoughtful growth and development in the city center, the St. Petersburg Downtown Partnership needed a solid resource to share with developers, businesses, and policy makers focused on the city’s growth trajectory through new construction, redevelopment, and expanding or relocating business into Downtown. In 2019, the idea of an annual report on the state of economic development in Downtown St. Pete was born.
Over the last six years, in collaboration with the Downtown Partnership’s leadership and head researcher, Sarah Lindemuth, at Meshsem, Inc., we developed detailed annual reports showcasing the many opportunities and offerings currently available in and around Downtown, including office space, housing, and workforce demographics.
Through the creation of this guide, it has been equally important to communicate the facts and culture that make Downtown St. Pete an attractive place to live and work. We have achieved this year over year through strong imagery, giving the strongest weight to photography of all that St. Petersburg has to offer, and pairing that photography with infographics to convey the benefits of taking part in St. Pete’s ongoing growth.
With rapid growth comes challenges for any city and the annual development guide outlines areas of concern to prompt discussion amongst community leaders on best practices to move forward.

We’re pleased to share that the 2020 Downtown Development Guide, which was the first edition, won the International Downtown Association’s Award of Excellence within the 2020 Achievement Awards Application - Economic Development category! This indicates that it’s not only a stunningly designed piece, but that it’s a highly valuable resource for the state of economic development in the city we love.
I love working with the Pyper team! They are actively engaged, easy to communicate with and always go above and beyond to deliver an outstanding product. They have a great knack of taking my conceptual ideas and then finding ways to deliver outstanding results in multiple mediums - print, web, film. They make us look good.
