Specialty Market, Wine Bar Breaks Ground At Residences At 400 Central Condo Tower

ST. PETERSBURG, FL — The first retail tenant at downtown St. Petersburg’s Residences at 400 Central luxury condo tower, the tallest building in the city, broke ground on Wednesday.

The 2,000-square-foot Volta Wine + Market, a boutique wine bar and specialty food market, will open on the building’s ground floor by the end of the year, St. Pete Catalyst reported.

“Officially started construction!! We were floored by the turnout to commemorate this milestone,” Volta wrote in a social media post. “ It truly takes a village to get us over each mountain. Onward!”

Mayor Ken Welch wrote in a post after the groundbreaking, “Nothing says St. Pete like a new local business bringing people together on Central Ave.”

The shop will offer more than 300 wines, “from everyday staples to cellar classics — curated by hospitality experts,” the Residences at 400 Central wrote in a social media post.

The market will also offer “quality, clean-ingredient grocery for weekly shopping — olive oil, pasta, frozen foods, the things you’ll actually reach for,” as well as “a vibey bar to gather, linger, and socialize — with vinyl spinning in the background,” the post said, adding, “Volta makes wine and food part of your everyday rhythm.”

Volta’s founders, Zach Pace and Rachelle Tomushev, signed a lease with the Red Apple Group, the New York-based developer behind the residential building, last summer, reports said.
