FirstService Residential, North America’s leading property management company, has been selected as the management partner for Art House St Petersburg, further expanding its portfolio of premier luxury communities across Florida.
Rising 42 storeys above the heart of downtown St Petersburg, Art House is one of the tallest residential towers on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Designed by the internationally recognised SB Architects, with interior amenity spaces by award-winning ID & Design International, the 244-residence tower commands panoramic views of the city skyline and Tampa Bay. Situated at the epicentre of downtown on Central Avenue, steps from the waterfront, Beach Drive’s renowned dining scene, and the city’s vibrant arts and cultural corridor, Art House sets a new standard for urban luxury living in St Petersburg.
“As Art House St Petersburg welcomes its first residents, and with only a limited number of residences remaining, we remain focused on delivering an elevated standard of living across every aspect of the building. Our partnership with FirstService Residential was intentional; we selected them for their exceptional customer care, lifestyle expertise, and hospitality-driven approach,” said Brian Van Slyke, President of Kolter Urban.
This selection continues a successful and growing relationship between FirstService Residential and Kolter Urban, who previously partnered on notable high-rises in the area: ONE St Petersburg, Hyde Park House, Saltaire, and Vue Sarasota Bay, among others. With decades of experience managing luxury high-rise communities throughout Florida and beyond, FirstService Residential brings proven expertise in operations, financial stewardship, and resident experience to Art House.
Residents will enjoy a comprehensive suite of amenities, including a co-working lounge known as “The Hub,” an elevated outdoor pool deck with cabanas, a spa centre with a steam room and sauna, a private theatre, a boardroom with audiovisual capabilities, and two furnished guest suites. FirstService Residential’s management and lifestyle teams will support and activate these amenities with the same hospitality-driven approach that defines its work across the company’s luxury portfolio.
“Our commitment to Art House is to serve with consistency, depth, and accountability. That means strong onsite leadership backed by regional support, disciplined operations, proactive communication, financial stewardship, and a hospitality-driven resident experience that protects the asset and supports the board at a high level,” said Bobby Knuth, senior regional director for FirstService Residential.
