Earlier this month, a massive tower crane was transported to the site of one of downtown St. Petersburg’s newest condominium towers—The Nolen—signaling the start of vertical construction.

The N­olen is a 23-story condominium tower under construction at 126 4th Avenue Northeast. Despite the tower’s height, which will top out at 288 feet, the building will have just 31 residences, far fewer than the other residential towers under construction closer to Central Avenue. For reference, Art House and The Residences at 400 Central will have 244 and 301 units, respectively.

The Nolen is being spearheaded by Tampa-based DDA Development, which is led by Bowen Arnold and John Schilling. Ellison Construction, who serving as general contractor, began construction on the project in October.

Construction has begun on The Nolen, a 23-story condominium tower slated for 126 4th Avenue Northeast in downtown St. Pete.

The boutique condominium building will feature 31 residences and will be 288 feet tall. The project is being spearheaded by Tampa-based DDA Development, which is led by Bowen Arnold and John Schilling.

DDA is partnering with Ellison Construction of Tampa to build the condominium tower. Ellison Construction’s experience includes other notable projects such as Oxford Exchange and the Stovall House in Tampa.

It’s not every day that you get to witness a century-old two-story house rolling down the street. But if you were lucky enough to be just north of downtown St. Pete on Saturday night, that’s exactly what you saw.

The home, known as the Bay Gables house, was uprooted from its original location at 136 4th Avenue Northeast, placed on a trailer, and transported 0.6 miles to its new location at the corner of 8th Avenue North and Dartmoor Street near Round Lake.

The house was moved to make way for the construction of The Nolen, a 23-story 31-unit condo tower, that will be breaking ground soon.

The Nolen, a 23-story condominium tower approved for 146 4th Avenue Northeast in downtown St. Pete, has taken several major steps toward an anticipated groundbreaking.

The boutique condominium building will feature 31 residences and will be 288 feet tall. The project is being spearheaded by Tampa-based DDA Development, which is led by Bowen Arnold and John Schilling. The company recently announced that they have secured construction financing and that the building is nearly 50% sold.

“The sales pace has exceeded expectations, which allows for The Nolen to move ahead of schedule and towards construction," said DDA Principal Bowen Arnold.

The developers behind The Nolen, a 23-story residential tower planned for 146 4th Avenue Northeast in downtown St. Pete, have revealed additional information about the project as it moves closer to reality.

DDA Development, which is led by Bowen Arnold and John Schilling, has announced that sales for the project is expected to begin in November. Smith & Associates Real Estate is the exclusive broker for the project.

On Tuesday, St. Pete’s Development Review Commission approved the site plan to construct The Nolen, a 23-story condominium tower planned for 146 4th Avenue Northeast in downtown. The Nolen is being developed by Bowen Arnold and John Schilling at DDA Development. The luxury condominium building is expected to have 31 units and will be 288 feet tall.

The property is currently occupied by two structures and a surface parking lot. One of the structures was built in 1912 and operates as the Watergarden Inn at the Bay, a bed & breakfast, and was designated a historic structure in 1994.

As part of the redevelopment, the structure will be moved to a vacant lot at the northeast corner of 8th Avenue North and Dartmoor Street North in Uptown. The lot is less than a mile away from the current location.
