The former St. James Hotel building in Safety Harbor has new owners, and they plan to bring it back to its old 1920s glamour with a modern twist.
"When we found out it was for sale, we went more curious than serious. But as soon as we walked inside, I looked at my partner’s son and was like ‘we need to buy this,’" said Hooman Hamzehloui, the property co-owner and co-founder of Concord Syndicate.
The old St. James Hotel building was opened in 1925, and it became the home of many other things after it was no longer a hotel. After Hamzehloui and his business partner bought the property in April, he said they put some work in at the building, changing the color and more.
