Denver-based Avanti Residential has acquired Artistry, a $92 million, 246-unit apartment luxury community in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, Fla.
Avanti purchased the class A project from nationwide apartment builder Milhaus Development, which completed the project in 2020 with condominium-quality finishes, resort-like amenities, and 10,000 square feet of retail space catering specifically to apartment tenants.

Artistry is located at 1661 Central Ave. in the downtown core of St. Petersburg, home to a sizable employment center and vibrant entertainment hub with numerous restaurants, bars and cultural attractions. The project has a high walkability score to area amenities and is two blocks
