Overall, Ascent connects with St. Pete's vibrant energy and creates an environment where residents can feel like they vacation where they live."

The podium-style high-rise will reach 36 stories with 357 units that feature floorplans that include studios, one-, two- and three-bedrooms as well as penthouse units with elevated finishes and access to dedicated penthouse amenities. Ascent St. Pete boasts a 94 percent walkability score.

Partnering with AC by Marriott, the mixed used project includes a 172-key hotel which will allow Ascent St. Pete to augment the resident experience with shared outdoor amenities and services. The hotel will also feature a separately branded restaurant on the eighth floor with an outdoor terrace and bar.

The high-rise also contains more than 6,800 sq. ft. of ground-level retail space along First Ave. and 2nd Street North. 

Ascent St. Pete is scheduled to open in January 2023 with final construction completion slated for May 2023.
