New Construction Projects in Anna Maria, Florida

Project 1: Anna Maria City Pier Reconstruction

• Developer: City of Anna Maria (with Tampa Bay Marine Inc. as primary contractor)
• Location: Anna Maria City Pier (waterfront at the end of Pine Avenue / historic pier site), Anna Maria, FL 34216
• Type: Commercial / Recreational (pier with walkway, utilities, and associated structures)
• Units/Size: Approximately 730-foot walkway plus T-end buildings/amenities; project cost estimated $6–9 million
• Status: Under Construction
• Expected Completion: Walkway substantially complete by spring 2026 (target March 31 for main walkway elements); full pier reopening targeted for fall 2026
• Description: Rebuild of the hurricane-damaged (Helene and Milton, 2024) historic City Pier, including new solid concrete pilings, reinforced walkway, utilities (sewer, water, electrical, gas, fire protection), and restoration of end structures. Includes a new lease for a waterfront restaurant. This is the city’s top priority infrastructure project post-hurricanes.[1]

No other significant named multi-unit residential, condo, townhome, mixed-use, or commercial development projects (announced, under construction, or recently completed within the last 3 years) were identified in Anna Maria proper.

The city has highly restrictive zoning, low-density character, and no large undeveloped parcels, so new residential activity is limited to individual custom single-family home teardowns/rebuilds (often luxury waterfront homes listed as “new construction” on real estate sites, but not organized projects with named developers or unit counts). Nearby areas like Holmes Beach or Bradenton Beach have similar infill activity and some conceptual redevelopment (e.g., Pines Park in Bradenton Beach), but these fall outside Anna Maria city limits.[2]

Infrastructure work (e.g., water main replacement) is ongoing but not residential/commercial development.
