Touch the Sky
Thirty-four floors above St. Petersburg, the light changes before the city below even wakes up. Sunrise breaks pink and gold over Tampa Bay on one side of the residence; by evening, the sun drops into the Gulf of Mexico on the other. Few homes on Florida's west coast can claim both horizons from the same wraparound balcony. Residence 3401 at 400 Central can.
This is the idea behind Touch the Sky, the newly relaunched positioning for Residence 3401, a complete reset of a residence that was always exceptional, now presented the way it deserves to be seen: fully staged, freshly priced, and backed by a limited-time incentive package designed to reward the buyer who moves first.
The Tallest Point on the Gulf Coast
400 Central rises 46 stories above downtown St. Petersburg, the tallest residential tower on Florida's west coast. That height is not just a statistic; it is the entire premise of the building. Above a certain floor, the views open up in a way that simply isn't possible anywhere else on the Gulf Coast, and the tower's developers have branded those upper residences as a distinct, elevated tier: the Sky Series.
Residents share access to the Sky Lounge Observatory on the 46th floor, a private vantage point over Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico that belongs only to those who live above the city rather than beside it. Residence 3401 sits within this collection, on the 34th floor, high enough to command sweeping, unobstructed water views in two directions, and part of a building whose entire identity is built around that sense of elevation.

The floor plan is built for exactly this kind of view: an oversized wraparound balcony that lets the residence be experienced from every principal room, rather than glimpsed from a single window. At 2,658 square feet with three full bedroom suites, it is scaled for both everyday living and serious entertaining, the kind of home that turns a Tuesday sunset into an occasion.
$35,000 in Closing Credits — A Reset Built for Buyers and Agents
The relaunch of Residence 3401 isn't only about staging and story, it comes with real, immediate value on the table. Any fully executed contract by October 31, 2026 unlocks a $35,000 incentive package, split to reward both the buyer and the buyer's agent:
Recipient | Credit |
|---|---|
Credit to Buyer | $25,000 |
Credit to Buyer's Agent Broker | $10,000 |
Total Incentive | $35,000 |
For the buyer, that's $25,000 applied directly toward closing costs, lowering the friction of moving into a $3.295M residence at exactly the moment the market rewards decisive buyers. For the agent community, the enhanced $10,000 broker credit is a deliberate move to put Residence 3401 in front of qualified buyers faster, with priority attention and expedited showings from Realtors across the Tampa Bay area.
This is a limited-time offer tied to a hard date. Contracts must be fully executed by October 31, 2026 to qualify, there is no extension built into the current offer.
Staged to Live, Not Just to Show
As part of the repositioning, Residence 3401 has been professionally staged with high-end, organic coastal luxury furniture with natural woods, woven textures, and a warm, sun-washed palette that echoes the water outside every window rather than competing with it. The effect is a residence that photographs beautifully and, more importantly, helps buyers feel the scale, flow, and livability of the space the moment they walk in, rather than having to imagine it.
The staging was chosen deliberately to match the Sky Series lifestyle: relaxed, elevated, and unmistakably coastal, in a home built for entertaining on a 1,000+ square foot balcony as much as for quiet mornings watching the sun rise over the bay.
Why This Window Won't Stay Open Long
Three things are true about Residence 3401 right now that won't all be true at the same time again: it is fully staged and move-in ready, it carries a $35,000 incentive package, and that incentive expires on a fixed date. Sky Series residences at 400 Central rarely come to market with this combination of view, floor, and finished presentation with and an incentive of this size, split between buyer and agent, is designed to move quickly rather than linger.
For a buyer weighing a Gulf Coast high-rise purchase before year-end, or an agent with a client circling St. Petersburg's luxury waterfront market, Residence 3401 is currently one of the most compelling combinations of price, position, and presentation on the west coast of Florida.
