Ovation Penthouse Sale

To cap off 2009, buyers closed on a penthouse at Ovation for $4,200,000.  This was the highest sale price for a condo in 2009, according to the Pinellas Realtor Organization. Kudos to JMC and to the buyers of the Ovation penthouse. It’s interesting that the next two highest condo sales in 2009, between $3 Million and $4 Million, were also JMC construction, at the Sandpearl on Clearwater Beach.

O Wave sculpture by Ovation condos St Petersburg

O Wave sculpture by Ovation luxury condos in downtown St Pete

Last Friday this new glass and steel sculpture was unveiled. It’s in front of the Ovation luxury condos on the sidewalk at the corner of Beach Drive and 2nd Avenue N in downtown St Petersburg.  JMC Communities commissioned this piece by Gordon Huether of Napa, California.
I love looking at this as I walk or drive by (and I go a block out of my way each evening to drive by it) to see the beautiful changing colors in the overlapping glass panels that resemble the scales of a fish. I’m not a fan of contemporary art but this piece is appealing.
The wave is reflecting the blues with some pinks and purples, but when you look at the reflection on the sidewalk you see reds and oranges.
I like to think of downtown St Petersburg as The QuARTer because of all the art downtown – from museums and galleries to sidewalk sculptures and chalk poetry.  It’s all about the quality of life, isn’t it?
Thanks, JMC, for another wonderful addition to downtown St Pete.

Ovation progress in St Petersburg Florida

Ovation penthousesOvation has progressed over the last months, and it’s nice to see the finishing touches occur, including the painting. Most of the luxury condominium building has two units per floor, but the four penthouse units are a full floor each. What magnificent views from these – from downtown Tampa to the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, from sunrise over Tampa Bay to sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. All of the tower units are divided on an east-west axis so each of them have both sunrise and sunset views. There are still a few units available, and occupancy is anticipated for August 2009.

Ovation St Petersburg is Rising to the Occasion

JMC invited some of us today to visit the construction of Ovation luxury condominiums in St Petersburg. We were able to go up into the building, look at the views, and see what you’d see from each room. Fantastic views! This will be a 27 story structure, with only 2 condominiums per floor, which means you get both sunrises and sunsets. The top penthouses have the entire floor. Tower prices start at about $1,700,000. With only 42 tower residences and 3 city homes, Ovation offers top quality construction, great floorplans, and a prime location. At the corner of Beach Drive and 2nd Ave NE (which continues out to The Pier) you’re right in the heart of everything. Visit Ovation’s website to see a 7 minute virtual tour and also a live webcam with several views, as well as floor plans and information about JMC, who has been a quality developer in the St Pete area for the last 30 years. Please contact The Simms Team at (727) 866-0048 for buyer representation!
