Developed by Kolter Urban and designed by 10SB, with McNamara Salvia as the structural engineer, the 450-foot-tall superstructure yields 244 residential units above a parking garage spanning floors two through eight with 482 spaces, along with 4,936 square feet of ground-floor retail space along Central Avenue. Coastal Construction served as general contractor, ID &amp; Design International handled interiors, Kimley-Horn is the civil engineer, and Smith &amp; Associates Real Estate is the exclusive broker. The development is now more than 90 percent sold.<\/p>\n<p>Recent aerial photos show the edifice towering over Downtown St. Petersburg, with its rectangular massing rising prominently above the surrounding low- and mid-rise buildings. The exterior follows a familiar design language seen in Kolter Urban\u2019s high-rise developments in the area, including Saltaire and ONE St. Petersburg, both also designed by 10SB. Art House\u2019s fa\u00e7ade is defined by a clean composition of white stucco walls and framing, contrasted by deep blue floor-to-ceiling glass that wraps the tower. A consistent grid of projecting balconies lines the elevations with subtle variations at the upper levels. At the top, a framed crowning element encloses the mechanical levels, composed of a white-painted structural element surrounding aluminum panel cladding that screens rooftop equipment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39266\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Art-House-St.-Petersburg-01-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Oscar Nunez.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Art-House-St.-Petersburg-05-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Oscar Nunez.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39272\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Art-House-St.-Petersburg-07-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Oscar Nunez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">A 28-foot covered arrival plaza leads into a two-story Grand Lobby with a separate resident entrance, gallery space, lounge seating, and artwork. St. Petersburg sculptor Cecilia Lueza created a commissioned work titled ALLURE for the arrival plaza. The ninth floor is designated as a dedicated amenity level called Cloud 9. Amenities include a pool deck with cabanas, fire pit lounge, and BBQ grills, a fitness center, spa with steam and sauna, private theater, two guest suites, a clubroom with private dining, a gaming lounge with two sports simulators, a coworking space called The Hub with collaborative, private, and semi-private seating and meeting areas, a boardroom, an outdoor pet park, and a pet spa. The elevator system travels from the lobby to the penthouse level in 42 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39273\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Art-House-St.-Petersburg-08-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Oscar Nunez.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">Residences include two- and three-bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,380 to 2,637 square feet, with ceilings up to 10 feet, full-height sliding glass doors and windows, European-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, large-format porcelain tile floors, spa-style bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers in the owner\u2019s suite, flexible den and work-from-home areas, and private terraces.
