Summary, model-written

Pinellas Square Mall opened in 1977, closed in 2004, and was demolished. Boulder Venture South redeveloped the site in 2004 into a new retail/entertainment center called Shoppes At Park Place. The site is now a completed redevelopment with no current opportunity (per record: 'retrofit already built').

Why. Status is 'demolished' with no active redevelopment opportunity. The retrofit was completed in 2004, and the new use (entertainment/retail) is operational as Shoppes At Park Place. Median rent data ($1,525) is provided but not contextualized for current market.

Where it stands. No current opportunity. The site is fully redeveloped and operational as a new shopping center.
