The site sits on the West Bay Drive corridor, the main east-west route through Belleair Bluffs linking the mainland to the Belleair Causeway and the barrier island communities of Belleair Beach and Belleair Shore. The corridor carries a mix of retail, restaurants, and small commercial uses; the rooftop restaurant would add a new dining option.

With approval in hand, the project can move toward construction, targeting a first-quarter 2028 opening.
