Whos the owner behind Residences at 400 Central, the tallest residential building on Floridas Gulf Coast?
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.
