VIV Welcomes Residents to St. Petersburg's EDGE District

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - EntSun -- VIV, a 269-home luxury apartment community at 1000 1st Avenue North, is bringing a new standard of residential living to St. Petersburg's EDGE District. Offering studios, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes with select den layouts, many with panoramic views of the Tampa Bay skyline, VIV combines organic materials and tones with curated amenities designed to balance the vibrancy of the surrounding neighborhood with the comfort of home.

The EDGE District is widely recognized for its walkable mix of local restaurants, bars, galleries, boutiques, and coffee shops, and VIV is situated at its center. Rated a Walker's Paradise" by Walk Score, the neighborhood allows residents to step directly from home into the daily rhythm of one of downtown St. Petersburg's most active corridors. VIV extends that street-level energy with approximately 15,500 square feet of retail and restaurant space along 1st Avenue North, while the adjacent Jacob Baum Park creates a green pedestrian connection to Central Avenue.

Beyond the immediate neighborhood, VIV places residents within easy reach of the experiences that define St. Petersburg. The St. Pete Pier, a 26-acre waterfront destination known for its green space, dining, recreation, and public art, is minutes away. The white sands of St. Pete Beach and Treasure Island are less than eight miles west. Cultural landmarks including The Dalí Museum, the Chihuly Collection, and Sunken Gardens are all nearby, reinforcing a location rooted in the arts, outdoor beauty, and coastal lifestyle that make the city unique.

"VIV was designed for discerning renters who want to be fully immersed in the neighborhood fabric, not just observers of it," said Mark Dasilva, Vice President of Belpointe PREP, LLC ("Belpointe OZ"), developer of VIV. "The EDGE District has the culture, the walkability, and the energy, and VIV gives residents a home that matches that standard while still offering a refined retreat at the end of the day."

That sense of retreat is central to the VIV experience. The community offers expansive private terraces, rooftop Sky Lounges in each tower, a resort-style pool with cabanas and outdoor grills, a clubroom with billiards and gaming tables, and dedicated co-working and Zoom rooms for residents working from home. Concierge services, a gated garage, private dog park and pet spa round out an amenity package designed to let residents enjoy the energy of downtown St. Petersburg without leaving home.
