New owners of the Sundial in St. Pete announce plans to upgrade

The Sundial — a dining and shopping destination in downtown St. Petersburg — is set to be redeveloped this year.

Ally Capital Group, a Tampa-based real estate investment firm is partnering with Paradise Ventures, a St. Petersburg-based firm, to “reimagine” the shopping center as a mixed-used development, according to a news release.

Paradise Ventures and Ally Capital Group purchased the Sundial from local businessperson Bill Edwards for $27.5 million last year. Edwards had owned the 85,357-square-foot shopping center since 2011, and made significant upgrades.

“Placemaking is important, and the new Sundial is designed to be extension of the community,” said Andrew Wright, CEO of Ally Capital Group in a statement. “A place that enhances the city socially, economically and culturally. A space where celebrations are had, where business is done and where friends run into each other.”
