Standing at 450 feet, the 42-story Art House condominium tower in downtown St. Petersburg has officially reached vertical completion, marking a significant milestone in the construction of this luxury 244-unit tower at 235 1st Avenue South.
The topping-off ceremony signals a key step forward for South Florida-based developer Kolter Urban, which has already completed two other high-rise condo projects in downtown St. Pete: the 41-story ONE St. Petersburg and the recently finished 35-story Saltaire. To celebrate this construction milestone, Kolter Urban will host a private event on Thursday evening.
“We’re excited to reach this important milestone and move closer to completing Art House,” said Brian Van Slyke, Regional President of Kolter Urban’s West Coast Florida division. “Art House will offer residents a lifestyle that captures the essence of St. Petersburg’s vibrant cultural scene and coastal charm, right in the heart of downtown.”
Coastal Construction, the project's general contractor, broke ground in mid-2022 on the site of a former surface parking lot next to 200 Central, St. Petersburg’s tallest office tower. Earlier this month, the team completed the pour for the 42nd-floor slab.
“Coastal Construction is thrilled to contribute to the ongoing transformation of downtown St. Petersburg alongside Kolter Urban,” said Sean DeMartino, President of Coastal Construction’s Central and North Florida division. “Rising 42 stories, Art House is a bold addition to the skyline, offering stunning views of the city and bay while blending modern luxury with the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast.”
The development team also includes SB Architects, ID & Design International, and Kimley-Horn.
The residences, ranging from 1,380 to 2,637 square feet, will feature a mix of two- and three-bedroom units, with 10-foot ceilings, private terraces, and floor-to-ceiling windows showcasing spectacular views of the city skyline and Tampa Bay. High-end finishes include quartz countertops, large-format porcelain tile floors, and European-style cabinetry.
The top three floors of Art House will feature 12 exclusive penthouse units, ranging from 3,157 to 4,847 square feet, each with three bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms. The penthouses will offer den areas with wet bars, expansive owner’s suites, 11-foot ceilings with glass walls, wraparound terraces, and a butler’s pantry.
Residents will have access to a wide array of luxury amenities on the ninth floor, known as Cloud 9. These include a resort-style pool, an exclusive cocktail bar, poolside cabanas, a fire pit lounge, and state-of-the-art indoor facilities. The indoor amenities will include a gaming simulator, a theater room, coworking spaces called The Hub, a full spa with sauna and steam room, a fitness center with outdoor training areas, a covered dog park, and fully furnished guest suites.
The ground floor will feature 6,100 square feet of retail space along Central Avenue and 3rd Street South, with more than 75% of the condos already sold. Pricing for the remaining units starts at $1 million.
Construction is expected to be completed by fall 2025.
