In a city known for its evolving arts scene, coastal beauty and walkable downtown, a new landmark is about to make its debut. Soon to become St. Petersburg’s tallest structure at 50 stories, Waldorf Astoria Residences St. Petersburg is introducing a new caliber of luxury living to Florida’s west coast. Developed by national real estate firm PMG in partnership with Hilton, this landmark tower brings the iconic Waldorf Astoria name to downtown St. Pete, offering residents not only refined design but an immersive, full-service lifestyle grounded in world-class hospitality. 

With a collection of 163 private residences, the development seamlessly blends waterfront living with elevated urban sophistication. Designed by acclaimed architecture firm CUBE 3 and featuring interiors curated by award-winning design firm BAMO, each home has been meticulously crafted to reflect both place and prestige.

Sculpting the Skyline

Each fully finished two- and three-bedroom residence, ranging from 2,031 to 3,408 square feet, is thoughtfully designed to reflect the sophistication of the Waldorf Astoria brand while capturing the coastal charm of St. Petersburg’s waterfront. The spacious layouts feature expansive terraces, private entry foyers and panoramic views of Tampa Bay. 

Inside, no detail has been overlooked. From bespoke kitchens outfitted with Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances to Italian stone bathroom vanities and custom closets, every detail speaks to craftsmanship and quiet luxury. Smart home technology and Waterworks fixtures add a modern touch to spaces grounded in warmth and sophistication. At the top of the tower, a two-story penthouse residence, totaling 10,000 square feet with a private rooftop pool, crowns the building and epitomizes elevated urban living.

Unparalleled Living

What truly distinguishes this development is the Waldorf Astoria experience – one built on intuitive service, elegant design and a commitment to creating memorable moments every day. The luxury residence offers round-the-clock concierge, valet parking, doorman and bellman services in addition to access to a suite of à la carte offerings, ensuring every need is met with grace and efficiency. Whether arriving home or hosting guests, everything is designed to feel effortless.

A Full-Service Lifestyle Above the Bay

More than 43,000 square feet of amenities are woven throughout the building, transforming everyday routines into elevated experiences. At the heart of it all is the Peacock Alley-inspired Sky Lounge on the 46th floor. This signature Waldorf space features a sunset bar, spacious pool deck and refined social lounges all offering breathtaking views over the bay and city.

The 18th-floor amenity level is a sanctuary of wellness and leisure. A 20,000-square-foot resort-style pool deck includes an east-facing 160-foot pool, dual spa-equipped sunset pool and elegant shaded lounge areas perfect for socializing or solitude. Nearby, the wellness center offers private massage rooms, saunas, steam rooms and a state-of-the-art fitness and movement studio. Evoking moments of discovery, a dedicated kids and entertainment teen club is equipped with an interactive discovery tunnel for exploration.

Additional amenities include a signature restaurant, pet spa and curated lobby with a porte-cochère for easy arrivals and departures. Dedicated EV charging and private resident parking make day-to-day living even more seamless.

At the Heart of Downtown’s Growth

Located in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, the residences offer direct access to a city that’s quickly becoming one of Florida’s most desirable places to live. In addition to being steps away from restaurants, galleries and waterfront parks, the building will include 10,000 square feet of ground-level retail and over 73,000 square feet of Class-A office space, adding vibrancy and daily convenience to the property’s ground floor.

With a reputation for refined service, timeless elegance and exceptional craftsmanship, Waldorf Astoria Residences St. Petersburg offers a rare opportunity to experience the energy of the city with the tranquility of bayfront living wrapped in one of the world’s most iconic hospitality brands.

Sales are now underway through Smith & Associates Real Estate, marking a moment to claim a piece of St. Petersburg’s most ambitious residential address to date.
