Buro Happold on the Michael Maltzan Architecture design<br />
team were selected as winners of an international design<br />
competition for the replacement of the existing 625,000<br />
SF St. Petersburg pier. Phase One of the project includes<br />
design and construction services for the new pier only,<br />
including Above Water Drive, Above Water Bridge, Pier<br />
Promontory, Lens Canopy, Elevator Towers and Balconies.<br />
A fixture on the St. Petersburg, Florida waterfront since<br />
the late 19th Century, the St. Petersburg pier has been<br />
an important commercial, social, and tourist center for<br />
the community. The pier has been rebuilt seven times<br />
since the initial structure was completed in 1899. The<br />
most memorable was the 1926 Mediterranean revival<br />
architecture inspired “Million Dollar Pier” demolished<br />
in the late 1960s. The current pier is the iconic ‘inverted<br />
pyramid’ structure which was completed and opened to<br />
the public in 1973.<br />
The intent of this project is to redefine what the pier could<br />
be and how it supports the City’s image and identity<br />
within the framework of an evolving downtown, which<br />
includes attractions such as the internationally recognized<br />
Salvador Dali Museum.<br />
