Vela is a new boutique tower in St Petersburg with only 23 condominiums. At Vela, prices will start in the low $300,000 range for two-bedroom, two-bath units with an average of 1,200 square feet, and in the mid $500,000 range for the three penthouse units with 1,900 square feet. Vela is built in a U-shape design so that most of the units will be corner locations. All units have ceiling heights of at least 9 feet as well as large balconies. Vela’s green features are another step in its innovative direction. These green home features include Energy Star appliances, electric car charging outlets (if desired), indoor air filtration systems that eliminate odors and bacteria, and LED lighting. Strategic window placements allow optimum natural light to flow through your home, as well. Your Vela home is complete with Nest thermostats. The space is yours and the control is yours. Amenities at Vela include two roof decks, a fitness center, grilling area, garage parking and more. Vela is a pet-friendly community. But the real selling point is location. It’s within easy walking distance of the stores and restaurants on Central Avenue as well as Tropicana Field, the new Pier, the Mahaffey, the Dali and USF St. Petersburg
