Downtown St. Petersburg’s retail landscape continues to evolve, and the latest milestone comes from EVO, a 23-story mixed-use tower that has nearly filled its 13,000 square feet of street-level retail space.
American Land Ventures and FrontRange Capital Partners announced today that four wellness-focused retailers are joining EVO’s lineup. The additions reflect a growing trend among developers who are redefining luxury living around health, community and lifestyle.
What we know
EVO’s newest tenants include LaserAway, an aesthetic dermatology and laser hair removal clinic now open, and Ideal Nutrition, a ready-to-eat healthy meal provider that recently opened.
BodyBar Pilates, a fitness studio, is expected to open in early 2026, followed by Pause Studio, a wellness and recovery center, in mid-2026.

With those additions, only one 2,765-square-foot retail space remains available for lease at the property, located at 334 2nd Ave. S.
“Today’s residents are craving more than convenience; they want holistic wellness where they live, work and play,” said Granvil Tracy of American Land Ventures. “EVO has become a destination for fitness, wellness and community, and these new retailers build on that foundation.”
EVO’s residential amenities mirror its tenant mix. The property includes a wellness lounge with spa services, a fitness center with Peloton bikes, a 76-foot lap pool and outdoor yoga and recreation lawns with views of downtown and the waterfront.
Near capacity
The remaining retail space is being marketed by Colliers agents Lisa McCaffrey and Melissa Riccardi. EVO’s near-full occupancy signals strong demand for retail visibility and lifestyle-driven brands in downtown St. Petersburg’s growing urban core.

“Together with ALV, we are delivering on our commitment to create more than luxury residences,” said Scott Egarian, principal of FrontRange Capital Partners. “EVO is an environment enriched by top-notch amenities and wellness-oriented retail.”
Why it matters
For developers and investors, EVO’s success highlights the value of integrating wellness and lifestyle into mixed-use development. Retail spaces that promote health, fitness and recovery are attracting stable, high-value tenants and building brand identity.
For local entrepreneurs, it reflects the region’s appetite for wellness and active-living concepts that combine convenience, design and community engagement.

EVO’s model also underscores a broader shift across Tampa Bay’s downtowns, where mixed-use projects are moving beyond residential density to create ecosystems that prioritize well-being and experience.
The bigger picture
EVO’s expansion marks more than another leasing milestone. It represents how wellness is reshaping urban development across Tampa Bay, influencing not only where people live but how they live.
