St. Pete Pier

Attraction · St. Petersburg, Florida

A 26-acre pier that opened on July 6, 2020 at a cost of $92 million, following voter approval in May 2015 and a groundbreaking on June 28, 2017. It holds five restaurants, a playground, an environmental education center and artwork including Janet Echelman's sculpture "Bending Arc", which the pier's own site listed as temporarily closed when this research was verified — a caveat on the sculpture and not on the pier. The pier's own site gives a daily closing time of 11 p.m. It also states an opening time, which this corpus cannot publish: the corpus bans duration-shaped strings outright, the ban scans module source, and its allowlist cannot be narrowed below a whole module, so the clause is dropped rather than the gate weakened. No street address is published: no verdict in this research carries one for it.

History

The waterfront has held pier structures since at least 1854. The first large, centralized pier — the Railroad Pier, built by the Orange Belt Railway — was built in 1889. It was followed by the Million Dollar Pier of 1926, with a Mediterranean Revival-style Casino building, and by the Inverted Pyramid Pier, which stood from 1973 to 2013 and preceded the current structure.
