St. Petersburg Pier<br />

St. Petersburg, FL, USA<br />

Buro Happold<br />

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 />
