St. Pete Rising Highlights New Bayfront Tower Retail Tenants Represented by Vector
St. Petersburg, FL – Vector Commercial Real Estate Services is pleased to share recent coverage from St. Pete Rising, highlighting the opening of a unique dual-concept storefront at the iconic Bayfront Tower in downtown St. Petersburg.
The article details the relocation and expansion of Broken Compass Barber Co. and Iron and Ink Clothing Co. into a shared space at 1 Beach Drive SE, Suite 106. Previously located in Clearwater, the two businesses have moved their successful collaboration to the ground floor of the 29-story tower, occupying the space formerly held by PetWorks.
The new shop combines a modern, high-end barbershop founded by Nate Lastinger with a physical retail location for Jeff Baustert’s tattoo-inspired streetwear brand, Iron and Ink. The move allows both businesses to be closer to their St. Pete customer base while capitalizing on the foot traffic of Beach Drive.
