The Flori de Leon is a historic cooperative apartment building at 130 4th Avenue North in downtown St. Petersburg (ZIP 33701). Construction began in 1926 during the city land boom, and the Mediterranean Revival building opened in December 1927 as the first and largest cooperative apartment building on Florida's west coast (source: St. Pete Rising, March 2025).
It is a co-op, not a condo. Residents purchase shares relative to the square footage of their unit and hold those shares until they sell, and the building reports around seventy-seven residential units (source: Preserve the 'Burg, January 2024). That structure means a co-op board, an approval process, and a monthly maintenance fee rather than a deeded condo with separate dues.
The building sits in the heart of downtown, a short walk to the waterfront and museums and near the Old Northeast and Coffee Pot Bayou. It was placed on the City of St. Petersburg register of historic places in 1994 and is a contributing property to the downtown historic district (source: Preserve the 'Burg, January 2024).
For a buyer who loves old buildings and wants to be in the center of downtown, the Flori de Leon is a rare option. The work is understanding co-op share ownership, confirming the maintenance fee and the board rules, and going in clear-eyed about the costs and quirks of a building approaching one hundred years old.
