The Tampa Bay Rays and the City of St. Petersburg are getting ahead of the game by soliciting work related to a new baseball stadium and the redevelopment of the Historic Gas Plant District.
Rays Stadium Co. LLC is seeking a qualified firm to provide professional design-build services for one or two event parking garages to serve a new Major League Baseball stadium, according to a March 12th solicitation notice.
The new garages will replace existing surface parking lots and will be operational during the 2025 MLB season to provide parking for Rays games and other events at Tropicana Field.
The parking garages will accomodate additional parking while a new baseball stadium is built. Under the current timeline, the new stadium is expected to open in time for the 2028 baseball season.
According to the existing use agreement between the City of St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay Rays, the team can solicit work before approval of a new development agreement, subject to certain conditions. The city intends to enter into an agreement with Hines and the Rays to serve as the master developer for the overall 86-acre Historic Gas Plant site.
The Rays will spearhead the development of the parking garages and the new ballpark, which will serve as the anchor for nearly 8 million square feet of new mixed-use development.
