Now Leasing: VIV in St. Pete – Luxury Apartments in the Heart of the EDGE District

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Nov. 10, 2025 - PRLog -- St. Petersburg, FL — A new chapter of design-forward living is unfolding in downtown St. Petersburg, FL with VIV, a 269-unit luxury apartment community set to define the intersection of comfort, creativity, and connection. Developed by Belpointe OZ and designed by MSA Architects, VIV sits at the heart of the vibrant EDGE District—one of St. Pete's most dynamic and walkable neighborhoods.

"Our goal was to create a building that captures downtown St. Pete's energy yet offers a refined, tranquil living experience," said Mark DaSilva, Vice President of Belpointe. "VIV's design draws from natural materials, balanced light, and thoughtful textures to create spaces that feel grounded yet elevated."

Thoughtful Design, Timeless Style

MSA Architects' design for VIV blends clean architectural lines with organic materials and natural tones, creating an environment that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. The community features studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences—some with dens—many offering panoramic views of Tampa Bay and the Skyway Bridge.

At street level, VIV activates the neighborhood with 15,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space and introduces Jacob Baum Park, a lush public green space that enhances walkability and fosters community engagement by connecting seamlessly to Central Avenue.

Amenities That Reflect the St. Pete Lifestyle

Designed to support a lifestyle of balance where work, wellness, and leisure intersect, VIV's amenities include:

• Resort-inspired saltwater pool - Unwind in a heated saltwater pool surrounded by cabanas, lush landscaping, and outdoor dining spaces perfect for weekends in the sun.
• Pet-friendly living - Enjoy a private dog park and on-site grooming salon so your four-legged companions feel right at home.
• Fitness on your schedule - Stay active in a 24-hour fitness studio with state-of-the-art equipment and dedicated areas for strength, cardio, and yoga.
• Elevated social spaces - Relax or entertain in a sky lounge with sweeping bay views, an elegant clubroom with billiards and shuffleboard, and thoughtfully designed gathering spaces throughout the building.
• Work-life balance - Achieve focus and flexibility with dedicated co-working areas, private Zoom pods, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout common spaces.
• Effortless living - Experience five-star service with 24-hour concierge support, gated garage parking, and convenient EV charging stations.

"Every detail of VIV has been considered to enhance how residents live, connect, and recharge," added Dasilva. "From sunrise coffee overlooking the bay to evenings watching the city lights from the sky lounge, life at VIV flows naturally into the EDGE District's art, dining, and cultural energy."
