Madeira Beach Development Co., LLC, proposes to develop Madeira Beach Town Center, a new mixed-use project on two adjacent parcels, 4.5 acres with 1,100 feet of Intracoastal Waterway frontage and a 2.1 acre triangular shape directly across Gulf Boulevard from Archibald Park.
The City has essentially two major retail and entertainment areas. At the south end of the community is the hugely popular tourist destination of John’s Pass Village and Boardwalk, a retail and entertainment district in the style of a quaint fishing village located on the Boca Ciega Bay waterfront at John’s Pass, which provides direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. The second is located in the City’s downtown area at the northern end of the community at the entrance to the City from the mainland.
This second area, known as the Town Center, includes; City Hall, local library, the City’s fire station, a recreation complex, R.O.C. Park; a children’s memorial park and entertainment destination; various local retail and entertainment businesses, the municipal marina and Archibald Beach Park, the community’s major public beach access.
The Madeira Beach Town Center development parcels are located at the gateway into the City from the mainland.
The planned development includes the following components:
On the Waterfront Parcel
• One 150 – 180 room hotel with Bay & Gulf views, and approximately 5,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor.
• A public marina with 43 boat slips and a 5,000 square foot commercial/retail building with dedicated surface parking.
• Two mid-rise, 45-unit residential condominium buildings, each with their own dedicated parking, and each having Bay views.
On the Triangle Parcel
One 200 – 250 room hotel on top of up to 40,000 square feet of commercial/retail space and a parking structure providing both dedicated parking and public parking. This structure would have both Gulf and Bay views and would be directly across Gulf Boulevard from the City’s main beachfront park. The hotel would be connected to the beachfront park by an elevated air bridge across Gulf Boulevard providing direct access from the public beach without crossing the busiest street in the City.
The City of Madeira Beach previously adopted a Town Center Special Area Plan that encourages the development of operating businesses that create jobs and tourism traffic. The Madeira Beach Town Center project was designed specifically to meet the City’s objectives and complies with the Town Center Special Area Plan in all respects.
The development site is particularly conducive to hotel, retail and condominium development, because of its proximity to both the beach access and other community recreational and entertainment amenities.
