470 3Rd St S

The Beacon on 3rd is a mid-century 10-story condominium originally built in 1965 and now operating as a downtown residential tower. Unit mix is primarily studios and one-bedroom plans, many arranged for open living with high or vaulted ceilings, cathedral elements, and floor-to-ceiling window walls in renovated units. Interiors commonly feature built-in cabinetry, solid wood and stone counters, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and in some homes updated kitchens with quartz and stainless-steel appliances. The building offers elevator access, a pool with cabanas, a rooftop observation/deck with skyline and bay views, a fitness center, secured entry with night and weekend security, and shared outdoor cooking and seating areas in a landscaped courtyard. Exterior details include private balconies for many units, covered parking and designated spaces, storage, irrigation and exterior lighting. Common systems and services are managed through an all-inclusive condo fee on many units that has historically covered HVAC, internet, cable and security; on-site staff oversee maintenance. Located in the heart of downtown St. Petersburg, the property sits within walking distance of the waterfront, the St. Pete Pier, transit, restaurants, markets and cultural venues, delivering a maintenance-free, walkable urban lifestyle favored by commuters, students and buyers seeking active downtown access.
