New courthouse being built for Florida’s Second District Court of Appeal (DCA) in downtown St. Petersburg. The courthouse is being built at 525 Mirror Lake Drive North, the former site of the Sebring Building. The new courthouse is expected to be completed in 2025.

The new courthouse will be a 160,000 square foot facility that will house 12 courtrooms, as well as offices for judges, prosecutors, public defenders, and other court staff. The courthouse will also have a law library, a museum, and a visitors’ center.

The courthouse is being designed by orlando-based DLR Group and St. Pete-based Wannemacher Jensen Architects. The design of the courthouse is inspired by the surrounding waterfront and the city’s history. The courthouse will have a modern design with a touch of traditional elements.

The new courthouse is a major investment in the future of the Second District Court of Appeal. It will provide a modern and secure facility for the court to continue its important work of upholding the rule of law in Florida.
