The units on the east side of the building have magnificent views of Tampa Bay. Units range from 1,146 sq ft for a 1 bedroom unit up to 3,673 sq ft for a double unit.

Governor proposes at Bayfront Tower

July 4th, 2008 Categories: Bayfront Tower

Florida governor Charlie Crist maintains his residence at Bayfront Tower condominium in downtown St Petersburg. Yesterday he made news by formally proposing to his girlfriend, Carole Rome – and where did he propose? At Bayfront Tower! It’s likely that the wedding (no date announced yet) will be at the First United Methodist Church here in St. Petersburg. Crist, a prospect for vice president for McCain, had this to say: “I’m very, very happy. I love her.” Rome is likely to change the frugal governor – it remains to be seen if they move to a larger condo at Bayfront Tower or buy a larger waterfront home. Governor Charlie Crist is very visible in St. Petersburg, and very approachable.
