The new owners of a mixed-use building near the Safety Harbor Waterfront Park plan to return the building back to its roots with the launch of a boutique hotel.
The three-story building, located at 101 Philippe Parkway, was sold to Orlando-based Concord Syndicate on April 21 for $8.45 million, according to a deed filed in Pinellas County.
