The Rusty Pelican just reopened, but it’s closing for redevelopment in 2027

The high rise is likely to be approved by Tampa City Council this week.

Following months of extensive Helene-related repairs, the Tampa restaurant reopened at 2425 N Rocky Point Dr. on July 17. But after nearly five decades, it will be out by 2027.

Developers are looking to replace the landmark restaurant with a mixed-use project including a 21-story residential building and an 8,000-square-foot restaurant.
