Solarban 70 Glass by Vitro Elevates Waterfront Living in St. Petersburg

decorative

Rising 41 stories above downtown, One St. Petersburg has become a feature of the city's skyline and a prominent landmark along Florida's Gulf Coast. The mixed-use development, completed in 2019, includes 253 luxury condominium residences and an adjacent Hyatt hotel.

Designed by SB Architects and developed by The Kolter Group, One St. Petersburg was envisioned as a signature residential destination featuring floor-to-ceiling windows, private terraces and unobstructed views that strengthened the connection between indoor and outdoor living.

That vision was enhanced by Solarban 70 glass by Vitro Architectural Glass, a high-performance solar control low-e glass that helps maximize daylight and views while supporting energy efficiency and occupant comfort. 

Delivering a Visible Light Transmittance of 64% Solarban 70 glass supports the tower's expansive glazed façade. Thanks to its solar control characteristics, a Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC) of 0.27, Solarban 70 glass allows for smaller HVAC systems, which reduces upfront equipment costs and helps lower cooling and heating costs.
