New Structured Parking

Thoughtfully designed by a Pinellas County-based family committed to creating long-term value for our community.

Project Overview

Main Street Exchange is a multi-year investment in Dunedin's future. Our goal is simple.

To create a vibrant, walkable destination that enhances Main Street, improves parking, supports local businesses, and provides new experiences for residents and visitors.

A Project Designed to Fit Dunedin — Not Change It

Over the past two years, we've listened carefully to residents, business owners, and city staff.

Here's what we consistently heard:

  • Downtown needs more parking.
  • Residents want more dining choices.
  • Local businesses need year-round activity.
  • Visitors want walkable experiences.
  • The community values arts, culture, and local flavor.
  • People want to maintain the charm and scale of Dunedin.

Community Benefits

  • 455 new garage parking spaces significantly reducing street congestion.
  • More restaurants and local eateries without overwhelming traffic.
  • A true gathering place for families, residents, and visitors.
  • Cultural programming through the event/theater venue.
  • Increased tax revenue that remains in Dunedin.
  • More foot traffic for existing small businesses.
  • Safe, walkable design consistent with the Pinellas Trail.

Main Street Exchange directly responds to these priorities.

This project isn't about building "bigger."

It's about building better.

for the Dunedin WE ALL LOVE.

The Douglas Parking Center is a standalone but complementary project

Key Highlights

  • Improving parking in Downtown Dunedin with 318 structured parking spaces.
  • Addresses the longstanding shortage in the downtown core.
  • Provides event parking, business parking, and future hotel valet support.
  • Designed with +/- 20,000 sqft (future retail pending rezoning and city council approval).
  • Enhances walkability near Douglas Avenue, Skinner Boulevard, and the Trail.

Phase 2 - Main Street Exchange

Mixed Use Project

Key Highlights

  • Further enhancing downtown parking with an additional 137-space Interior Parking Garage to relieve downtown congestion.
  • A curated +/- 20,000 sq. ft. Food Hall / Marketplace with a mix of fast casual dining options, a central bar, open seating, a market corner and year round programming.
  • An 89-room boutique hotel designed to fit Dunedin's Architectural character, offering visitors an elevated but intimate experience that supports local tourism and events.
  • Rooftop terrace bar and social spaces overlooking Main Street and the Trail promoting Outdoor gathering areas, scenic seating, crafted cocktails, and sunset views — all thoughtfully integrated to maintain appropriate noise and privacy buffers.
  • A flexible event + theater venue promoting performances, comedy, workshops, film.
    nights, community gatherings, and private rentals.
  • Community-focused outdoor seating, walkways, and public gathering areas.
  • Local retail spaces sized for small businesses and artisans.

Our team is proud to be based here in Dunedin, and we've approached this project with the mindset of long-term stewardship, not short-term development.
