Tampa Bay, FLLocal News

The Residences at 400 Central in St. Petersburg, Florida, is set to become the tallest residential building on the Gulf Coast, featuring a total of 301 luxury condos alongside retail spaces and restaurants. Owner John Catsimatidis, a self-made billionaire, emphasizes his centrist political stance, claiming neutrality in a polarized climate, despite his support for Donald Trump. He expresses indifference towards how his political views may affect condo sales, stating, "I couldn’t give a damn. " The building is designed to address local housing shortages, with Catsimatidis acknowledging the need for affordable housing contributions from luxury developments.

Plans for a radio studio within the building aim to engage with New Yorkers about politics and the lifestyle in St. Petersburg. As the building nears completion, Catsimatidis reports that 75% of the condos are sold, with residents expected to move in by September. The development not only marks a significant architectural achievement for the city but also raises discussions about the balance between luxury living and community needs. The project reflects Catsimatidis's long-standing connection to St.

Petersburg, having first visited over 40 years ago.
