Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) August 16, 2010
Despite concerns of a still-weak real estate market, the grand re-opening of Waters Edge on Thursday, July 29th marked history in the Tampa Bay and Gulf Coast area. The offering of luxury condominium homes at up-to-50-percent-off original listing prices was a success. The pricing structure was intended to sell units quickly and is working. Waters Edge has already sold enough condominiums to pay off its acquisition loan and eliminate the financial risk to their investors. There are still residences available such as no. 901 that originally went for $ 634,800 now sells for $ 304,900.
The momentum generated by the grand re-opening is being looked at by City Fathers as the residential jump-start for Downtown Clearwaters revival. Maxwell Drever, chairman of Concierge Asset Management, who is known for his long career of gentrifying and rejuvenating communities through smart buying, hopes to have Waters Edge lit up like a Christmas tree with residents come December instead of its former ghost-tower past.
Concierge remains committed to Drevers original purpose of buying at fair market value and passing the savings along to future buyers, allowing Waters Edge purchasers to take advantage of landmark living despite the countrys recent economic hardship.
The market determines the price, which is something we understand, said Grant Wood of Stingray Asset Management, the company managing the sale of the Offered Units.
Waters Edge offers a stunning view of the Intercoastal waterway and the Gulf of Mexico. In fact, 85% of the units in Waters Edge have water vistas. The buildings easy access to Clearwater Beach, adjacent municipal marina, first-class luxury amenities and a City committed to growth made this property a prime location for Drever and his team.
Mayor Hibbard who spoke at the event said, What [does] Apple, Microsoft and Waters Edge all have in common? Answer: They are all opportunities that you would have wanted in on, on the ground floor.
Waters Edge, the tallest building in Downtown Clearwater, will no longer stand as a giant reminder of economic hard times, but strong and mighty as a symbol of rebirth. The luxury way of life was simulated by Robb & Stucky Interiors, Neiman Marcus, Galati Yachts, Dew Automotives, Junes Orchid Estate and Menaul Fine Art who all participated in the classic event.
