Water’s Edge condominium homes in
downtown Clearwater officially opened on Thursday, Oct. 30.
Developed by Water’s Edge One,
L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Opus South Development,
L.L.C., Water’s Edge offers 153 residences priced from the
mid-$300,000s for a two-bedroom, two-bath City Home to more than
$1.6 million for the 26th floor penthouse. Situated on
Clearwater’s historic waterfront bluff, Water’s Edge
offers coastal living in downtown Clearwater.
The tallest building in Clearwater, the
26-story Water’s Edge stands at the foot of the 300-foot
walkway and pedestrian bridge of the new Memorial Causeway Bridge
to Clearwater Beach. Residents can walk, cycle or roller blade to
the beach within five minutes.
“Water’s Edge blends the best
of beach living with a cool urban lifestyle,” said Grant
Wood, real estate manager for Opus South Corp. “You can enjoy
spectacular water views without fighting beach traffic, plus there
is the convenience of being able to walk to Coachman Park,
Starbucks, a restaurant, or the library.”
The developer carefully captured assets of
the site when designing Water’s Edge, incorporating
architectural details such as high expanses of vertical glass
windows to frame unparalleled views Gulf, Clearwater Harbor and
downtown Clearwater. Each home is carefully positioned to offer
Gulf and Harbor vistas along with downtown skylines of Tampa and
St. Petersburg in the distance.
“People are astounded when they see
the views first hand,” Wood added. “These are the best
views in the Tampa Bay area.”
An array of shops, sidewalk cafes and
restaurants line nearby historic streets, and Water’s Edge
has approximately 10,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space
on the first level. Discussions are being held with several
prospective tenants.
A series of 19 City Home residences are
situated above the retail space. These one and two-story homes
range from 1,200 to 1,700 square feet and the top floor of the two
story opens open onto the swimming pool deck.
In addition, the Tower Residences have
three penthouses on the 23rd to 26th floors, and the second through
the 22nd floors of the Tower Residences feature six homes per
floor.
Fully furnished models, decorated by Robb
and Stuckey, illustrate the use of space in the three floor plans
of the Towers Residences. Offerings range from the
1,676-square-foot Coachman with two large bedrooms and baths, an
office, and a generous 186-square-foot terrace, to the 1,768 square
foot, two bedroom, two bath Bayside with its private den, and the
three-bedroom Alexander, a 2,422-square-foot home with two and
one-half baths. Granite counter tops with full marble stone
backsplashes, GE Profile kitchen appliances, top-quality Moen
faucets, and European-style cabinetry are kitchen standards.
Luxurious master suite bathrooms feature marble vanity tops,
porcelain tile flooring, European frameless shower enclosures and
some units include soaking tubs with marble tile decks.
Classic finishes and understated colors
fill the hallways, lobby and other public areas. A private dining
room, catering kitchen, social lounge and game room expand formal
entertainment options for residents.
A casual entertainment venue awaits
residents on the fifth floor where a swimming pool and a large deck
offer swimming, sunbathing and a spectacular panoramic view. An
outdoor cooking area featuring high-end gas grills and dining areas
create a perfect spot for sunset cookouts. Facing the pool is a
3,000-square-foot fitness center with 20-foot ceilings, commercial
grade workout equipment, hypoallergenic cushioned floors, and
flat-screen televisions.
“The fitness center truly is
state-of-the-art,” said Wood. “Some communities treat
the exercise room as an afterthought, but we designed this from the
start, knowing that health-conscious residents will likely use it
more than any other common space.
Four residents have already moved into
Water’s Edge, and another seven have closed on their units.
Buyers tend to be moving in from the beach or downsizing from
single-family homes, and there are a few second-home owners among
the new residents.
