(SeaPRwire) –   FirstService Residential will provide property management and lifestyle services for this impressive new luxury high-rise in downtown St. Petersburg

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., May 16, 2026 — FirstService Residential, a leading property management company in North America, has been chosen as the management partner for Art House St. Petersburg, further expanding its portfolio of high-end luxury communities throughout Florida.

Standing 42 stories tall in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, Art House is one of the tallest residential buildings on Florida’s Gulf Coast. The 244-residence tower, designed by the globally renowned SB Architects with interior amenity spaces created by the award-winning ID & Design International, offers sweeping views of the city skyline and Tampa Bay. Located centrally on Central Avenue, just steps from the waterfront, the acclaimed dining options on Beach Drive, and the city’s lively arts and culture district, Art House establishes a new benchmark for upscale urban living in St. Petersburg.

“As Art House St. Petersburg prepares to welcome its initial residents, with only a limited number of residences still available, our commitment remains steadfast in delivering an enhanced living experience across all facets of the building,” stated Brian Van Slyke, President of Kolter Urban. “Our selection of FirstService Residential was deliberate; we chose them for their outstanding customer service, expertise in lifestyle amenities, and their hospitality-focused approach.”

This appointment signifies the continuation of a successful and expanding collaboration between FirstService Residential and Kolter Urban, who have previously partnered on prominent high-rise projects in the region, including ONE St. Petersburg, Hyde Park House, Saltaire, and Vue Sarasota Bay, among others. With extensive experience managing luxury high-rise communities across Florida and beyond, FirstService Residential brings proven proficiency in operations, financial management, and resident experience to Art House.

Residents will have access to a comprehensive array of amenities, such as a co-working lounge named The Hub, an elevated outdoor pool deck complete with cabanas, a spa facility featuring a steam room and sauna, a private theater, a boardroom equipped with audiovisual technology, and two furnished guest suites. FirstService Residential’s management and lifestyle teams will be dedicated to supporting and activating these amenities with the same hospitality-driven philosophy that characterizes their work across the company’s luxury portfolio.

“Our pledge to Art House is to provide service with consistency, depth, and accountability,” commented Bobby Knuth, Senior Regional Director for FirstService Residential. “This entails strong on-site leadership supported by regional resources, efficient operations, proactive communication, sound financial oversight, and a hospitality-driven resident experience that safeguards the property and provides high-level support to the board.”
