Breezeway is an Affordable Housing Innovation Lab
We build small, real-world housing projects to test practical ways of making homeownership more affordable. By combining community ownership, lower utility costs, durable construction, workforce development, and limited-equity cooperative housing, we can learn what works, publish the results, improve the model, and repeat it throughout St. Petersburg.
Build. Measure. Improve. Repeat.
Historical
A Century of Local Success
Since 1927, cooperative living has been a successful reality in Pinellas County. With over 9,000 still existing co-op units across 20 different complexes, this model is a time-tested solution for housing stability. From the iconic Flori De Leon Cooperative where Babe Ruth & Lou Gehrig lived to modern residences, Breezeway continues this vital tradition. We are committed to using these proven methods to block market speculation and ensure that our residents enjoy secure, affordable homes.
OUR TOOLS
Power Owned by the People
We use smart financial planning to protect our homes from rising market costs. By working together, we ensure your living expenses stay low so that your family and your neighbors can finally thrive.
Dignity Through Ownership
Breezeway flips the script on traditional housing. Instead of land being used for profit, it is used for people. We provide a path to permanent security where you own your future and share in the power of a community built on mutual support, ensuring no one is ever priced out of their own life.
