St. Petersburg High-Rise Condos with the Best Amenities

With an average temp of 74°F and 361 days of sunshine per year, it’s no wonder St. Pete is a haven for snowbirds. But the full-time residents know there are year round opportunities to enjoy the seaside town’s vibrant arts and literary scenes, film festivals, restaurants, and live music performances. And with 244 miles of shoreline along Tampa Bay, Boca Ciega Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, and the intracoastal waterways, the peninsular city offers gorgeous vantage points in all directions. Luxury condominium towers also dot the shoreline and downtown streets, and some rise above the rest when it comes to amenities. 

Saltaire 

This luxury condo offering–the second in the area from the group behind ONE St. Petersburg–boasts not only enviable views of Tampa Bay, the St. Petersburg skyline, and Sunshine Skyway Bridge from 35 stories over downtown, but resort-style amenities to match. Residents enjoy a pool, state-of-the-art fitness center, club room offering east-facing bay views, and 24/7 security. Valet service is always available, and each of the building’s 192 units (which range from two to four bedrooms) has two private parking spaces. Select units are animal-friendly, and Saltaire pet owners have the added convenience of a private dog park. 

400 Central

Sweeping views take center stage at this Central Avenue high-rise: From the building’s top floor–46 stories and 515 above downtown St. Petersburg–the Sky Lounge Observatory offers panoramic glimpses of both Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. This private amenity for residents and their guests is accompanied by a bevy of both interior and exterior lounge spaces. A fitness and wellness center, upscale lounge, co-working space, state-of-the-art theater with plush seating, catering kitchen, and dining room comprise the indoor offerings; while outdoors you’ll find a tropical-themed pool and spa, bocce court, kitchen equipped with grills, pet station, recreation space, and fire pit. Condos at 400 Central span a variety of floor plans and layouts with one to four bedrooms, plus a selection of custom penthouse homes.   

Reflection St. Petersburg 

From just outside the bustle of downtown St. Petersburg, the Edge District, and the Warehouse Art District, Reflection’s Mirror Lake location provides a respite for those who seek moments of solitude between their adventures. The tower’s 88 residences range from 1,168 to 2,285 square feet and feature dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass windows. A 12,000 square-foot rooftop amenity deck not only affords panoramic views of Mirror Lake, Downtown St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay, and the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, but offers a pool and spa surrounded with luxurious lounge seating and firepits, and an outdoor kitchen and beverage bar ideal for entertaining guests. Residents commute with ease thanks to private bicycle storage, a multilevel parking garage with controlled access, designated rideshare areas, and golf cart shuttle service to downtown St. Pete.

Art House St. Pete

Given the name, it’s unsurprising that this 42-story tower is the work of two renowned, forward-thinking firms: SB Architects and ID & Design International. Amenities abound both indoors and out, and offer residents a club-like atmosphere from the comfort of home. The building’s pièce de résistance is a full floor of both open-air and indoor amenities for wellness, fitness, socializing, and entertainment aptly known as “Cloud 9”: Highlights include a pool deck complete with cabanas, spa, firepit, and barbecue grills; a game room with state-of-the-art swing gaming simulators; a club room with catering kitchen; a movie theater; and, of course, stunning views of both the skyline and Tampa Bay. Within the two-story, glass-enclosed lobby, residents and their guests enjoy a co-working space with private pods and a conference room.
