COVE Living PILOT at 300 45th Street South

A $61.6 million, 229-unit apartment building with 15,000 square feet of commercial space next to the COVE Innovation Center gets a 10-year, 100% property tax exemption. The city's share of forgone taxes is about $1.6 million over ten years; county and school district sign-offs are still pending.
