St. Petersburg penthouse sells for record $8.25 million

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (WFLA) — A penthouse in St. Petersburg set a new record after it was sold for more than $8 million, according to Smith and Associates Real Estate.

The sale of the 6,100 square-foot Saltaire penthouse, which fetched a final price of $8,250,000, is the highest-priced condo sale in the city’s history, the real estate group said in a statement Friday.

The sale is the third-largest sale in the Tampa Bay area’s history and the most expensive sale of the year.

The penthouse was put on the market in February and closed in just three months, Smith and Associates said.

“Not only is this a top sale, but the penthouse was sold finishless as a blank slate, with the amenities of Saltaire, the downtown St. Pete location, and the spectacular city and water views being the priority. The new owner has an incredible vision for this residence and will be able to completely customize the home’s interior design,” said Jacki Fabrizio, listing agent with Smith and Associates.

The penthouse features 1,700 square feet of outdoor space spread across three balconies, a 280-degree view, four bedrooms, five and a half baths, and more.
