A penthouse at the Ritz Carlton Residences Tampa closed earlier this month for $6.65 million.<\/p>\n

The 4,645-square-foot unit on the 31st floor of Tower II was purchased by Robert A. Kleinert, according to a deed filed with the Hillsborough County Clerk.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tower II was recently completed after nearly two years of construction and the first residents are starting to move in. Another penthouse in that building is still on the market, priced at $7.85 million.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first tower, rising 28 stories, was completed in 2024. The penthouse in that building sold for $11.6 million, breaking a Tampa Bay record<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to bring another tower there and be an icon in the skyline of Tampa,\u201d said Kurt Drstvensek, managing director for developer Related Group.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The property, located just off Bayshore Boulevard, features a spa with saunas and steam rooms; a media lounge with a golf simulator, pickleball and tennis courts; a children\u2019s playroom; two guest suites; and a dog park. Residents also have access to a personalized concierge, 24\/7 doorman and valet, pool-side food and beverage service, on-demand spa services and complimentary continental breakfast each morning.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Drstvensek said these resort-style amenities have attracted local buyers as well as people moving from other parts of Florida and out of state.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the best of both worlds,\u201d he said. \u201cYou\u2019re on vacation but then you\u2019re back in your home.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The Ritz-Carlton is part of a larger wave of new luxury condos<\/a> that have popped up in the Tampa Bay region over the past five years.<\/p>\n

Drstvensek said that many wealthy buyers are trading in large suburban single-family homes and the headaches that come with maintaining them in exchange for the convenience of condo living.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs the city has grown, cities go vertical,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is just continuing in that vein.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A penthouse at the Ritz Carlton Residences Tampa closed earlier this month for $6.65 million.
