A major construction milestone has been reached on Art House, a 42-story condominium tower under construction in downtown St. Petersburg.

General contractor Coastal Construction has announced the completion of the foundation pour for the building, which is in under construction at 235 1st Avenue South.

Art House is being developed by Delray Beach-based Kolter Group, the developer behind ONE St. Petersburg and Saltaire.

Construction preparations began with a ceremonial groundbreaking and site clearing in June 2022 followed by core sampling and other preliminary site work.

The major foundation pour began on July 21st with a steady rotation of 65 cement trucks pouring approximately 3,132 cubic yards of concrete over an 18-hour period.

The foundation pour marks the start of major construction activity which will be followed by vertical construction.

Once complete, Art House will soar to 450 feet and will feature 244 units, including 12 penthouse units. The residential tower is being constructed on a former surface parking lot next to 200 Central, the tallest office tower in St. Pete.

Kolter Group purchased the 0.4-acre site for $20.45 million in December 2021.
