Art House

235 1st Avenue South, St Petersburg, FL 33701

Art House brings a move-in-ready residential tower to the heart of St. Petersburg, rising 42 stories at 235 1st Avenue South with 244 residences and penthouses completed in 2025. The building is conceived around a refined urban lifestyle, pairing contemporary architecture with hospitality-inspired common areas and flexible live-work amenities that acknowledge how many buyers now split their time between home and a desk somewhere in the building. Homes feature open floor plans, approximately ten-foot ceiling heights, floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious private terraces, all oriented to capture Tampa Bay, the downtown skyline and the surrounding cityscape. Interiors emphasize natural light, comfort and functional modern living rather than excess, and the layouts are planned to make the most of the views each residence commands. The arrival sequence sets the tone: a covered plaza leads into a two-story grand lobby designed with art-focused elements and framed city views. For working residents, The Hub provides dedicated co-working space within the building, with private and semi-private seating and meeting areas. The ninth floor, known as Cloud 9, delivers a full-floor indoor and outdoor amenity experience that includes a pool deck, wellness and fitness areas, a club room, a game room and a private theater. Art House operates with a minimum six-month rental policy, which protects the character of the building for owners who intend to live there, and offers a full-time residential environment in a walkable downtown location. That combination, a completed tower with genuine services, a short walk to the waterfront and the city's cultural district, and a rental policy that preserves a resident population, is a specific and useful profile for buyers who want to use a home in St. Petersburg rather than simply park capital in it, and one that few completed buildings downtown can match on services, walkability and policy at once.
