The 12-story City Center office tower in downtown St. Petersburg has a fresh, modern look following a multi-million-dollar renovation.
The 242,115-square-foot Class A office building at 100 2nd Avenue South now features a contemporary atrium lobby, upgraded amenities, and state-of-the-art facilities.
The building, owned by Feldman Equities and its joint venture partners City Office REIT Inc. and Tower Realty Partners, has officially completed its renovation. This week, the owners unveiled a first look at the upgraded amenities and modernized features.

For years, The Joint’s patio had the bones of a great outdoor hangout: space to sit, a neighborhood crowd, and the kind of laid-back setting that feels made for a cold beer and a game on TV.
