The primary mat foundation placement has been completed for Art House, a 42-story residential building under construction at 235 1st Avenue South in downtown St. Petersburg. Designed by SB Architects with interiors by ID & Design International and developed by Delray Beach-based Kolter Group, the 450-foot-tall structure will house 244 condominium units, 6,100 square feet of ground floor retail along Central Avenue and 3rd Street South, and a 482-space parking garage. Kimley-Horn is the landscape architect, Smith & Associates Real Estate exclusively handles sales, and United Landmark Associates handles marketing.
Led by general contractor Coastal Construction, over 348 loads of concrete were gracefully delivered in a continuous rotation by 65 concrete trucks, covering an astounding 8,300 square feet during the 18-hour foundation pour on Friday, July 21. This significant milestone marks a crucial step forward for the ascent of Art House into the downtown cityscape.
