This new construction marks/validates the return of the St. Petersburg real estate market and provides a significant contribution to the local economy.

Our initial group of owners includes local residents from just two blocks away to owners from across the ocean in Europe, with five states and two countries represented. Our diverse group of owners is looking to transition from a single-family home to the maintenance-free lifestyle of a private condominium community. We have also been pleasantly surprised by the interest of local residents living in downtown St. Petersburg who feel Snell Isle is a more upscale, private area, but still close enough to downtown restaurants, attractions, cultural activities to readily enjoy. People like being able to have more free time to pursue their favorite interests,” said Dave Traynor, Vice President of Real Estate / Developer Services, Smith & Associates.
