Boutique Condos Present a New Level of Luxury in St. Petersburg

Named for an iconic figure in St. Petersburg’s early development, The Nolen aims to make its own history in the city’s evolving real estate landscape.  

High-profile condo developments are on the rise in St. Petersburg thanks to Central Florida’s Gulf Coast being one of the fastest-growing regions in the Sunshine State. Situated just a short 30 minute drive from downtown Tampa, St. Petersburg seems to have it all—a bustling downtown, a diverse collection of cultural attractions, and of course very quick and easy access to any number of white sandy beaches that attract millions of tourists each and every year. But with much of Florida’s population on the rise, St. Petersburg is one city in particular that is certainly attracting more than just visitors, and residential developers in the area are clearly taking notice. 

In recent years, an increased number of towering new construction apartment buildings, modern townhouse communities, and ultra-luxury condo towers have dramatically changed the St. Petersburg landscape, and The Nolen–a 23-story boutique condo building that just topped out at the end of last year–is just the latest addition you can add to the list.

Named for legendary urban planner John Nolen, whose vision for downtown St. Petersburg’s waterfront parks and pedestrian-oriented amenities continue to influence the city’s on-going rebirth even today, The Nolen in many ways is as magnificent as the man in which it is named after. 

Rising 23 stories high, you’ll find just 31 units inside The Nolen, enabling each layout to include no-shared neighboring walls for maximum privacy. Expansive outdoor terraces with access from the great room and also the owner’s suite also allow for a premium indoor/outdoor living experience–something you’re sure to enjoy given the breathtaking city and water views each and every unit includes. 

Lifestyle amenities at The Nolen are also noteworthy, especially for a condo building with only 31 units. A heated resort-style swimming pool and spa, a state of the art exercise facility with private wellness rooms, an expansive outdoor kitchen with lounge areas and multiple fire tables, and also indoor social and entertainment spaces are among the highlights, and that’s without mentioning some of building’s green-certified features, which include multiple electric car charging stations.

As one of downtown St. Petersburg’s newest crown jewels, however, prospective buyers should expect to pay a premium for any of The Nolen’s 31 condos. And right now, developer prices already start over $2M, with upper-floor units approaching the $2.8M to $3M range.
