The Kolter Group Announces Second Luxury Condominium Development in Florida this Year

Wednesday, November 27th, 2013

North Palm Beach, Fla. (PRWEB) November 18, 2013

The Kolter Group announced today the opening of the Sales Gallery for Water Club North Palm Beach, a new waterfront community of twin 22-story luxury condominium towers and 20 waterfront villa residences.

Located at 1280 U.S. Highway 1, Water Club North Palm Beach will feature a total of 166 two- and three-bedroom residences, including 12 penthouses and 20 villas. The luxury condominiums, priced from the $ 700s, range in size from 1,728 to 2,602 square feet, with Penthouse Residences ranging from 2,499 to 3,330 square feet. Construction is slated to begin April 2014.

The design of the two architecturally distinctive towers allows for impressive through-views to incorporate the panoramic vistas of the Atlantic Ocean, Lake Worth Lagoon and the Intracoastal Waterway. Each of the condominium residences features expansive great rooms, spacious living areas, dens and two oversized terraces. Private access elevators take tower residents from the secured covered parking and storage areas to their residence.

Water Clubs seven-acre waterfront site offers a private, resort-like setting that includes a Residents Club with owners lounge, resort-style pool, spa, lap pool and fitness center as well as a yoga and Pilates studio, and steam and sauna rooms. Owners can gather around the fire pit and outdoor seating areas or kayak along the Intracoastal Waterway. Boating enthusiasts will enjoy dedicated boatslips, as well as the convenience of the adjacent full-service Old Port Cove Marina, with additional state-of-the-art floating docks, high-speed fuel pumps and full maintenance service.

Water Club North Palm Beach marks the second luxury condominium development start for Kolter this year. Recently, Kolter broke ground on Water Club Snell Isle in Tampa Bay, Fla. which has recorded more than $ 14 million in sales since August. Buoyed by the excellent reception of our product in St. Petersburg and our near sell-out success of 4001 North Ocean in Delray Beach, we feel this is the ideal time for a waterfront community like Water Club in North Palm Beach, said Kolter Urban President Bob Vail. The overall economy is steadily improving and real estate inventory continues to diminish while the pent-up demand for luxury condominiums in this area continues to grow.

We have already seen a lot of interest from potential buyers who feel that this is an exceptional value for a luxury lifestyle on the waterfront in North Palm Beach, added Kolter Vice President of Sales Ed Jahn. Water Club combines the best of both worlds; the luxury and privacy of this waterfront enclave and the close proximity to everything the Palm Beaches has to offer.

The on-site Sales Gallery for Water Club North Palm Beach is now open. Hours are Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. and Sunday noon until 5 p.m. Those interested in more information can register for updates at http://www.waterclubliving.com/north-palm/ or call 877-859-2333.

Friday, November 1st, 2013


Orlando, FL (PRWEB) October 17, 2013

Leading Central Florida real estate group specializing in the representation of out-of-state and foreign nationals, My Florida Property Store (MFPS), introduces revolutionary real estate agency structure to help clients fully transition to new lifestyles, investments and homes.

In the overly saturated Florida real estate market, it is tough finding credible agents who are experienced in representing and advising buyers and sellers in real estate transactions from many countries around the world. MFPS caters specifically to those buying and selling, but who reside out-of-state or indeed out of the country. Their motto, Local Focus, Global Market, embodies the philosophy behind this innovative real estate experience.

Unlike most brokerages, MFPSs knowledgeable team is comprised of American, British, Canadian and Chinese associates fully familiar with local customs in multiple countries around the world, which is an essential pre-requisite to communicating detailed local purchase information in an efficient manner. In addition to being familiar with customs worldwide these agents actually live, work, and play in the areas of the properties they are selling. With a network of agents throughout Asia, Europe, and North America, MFPS is capable of assisting clients abroad directly and with professional knowledge of all requirements, whether required by the city, state, country or even that of their primary residence.

At MFPS agents operate as a team to provide truly personalized and individualized care. Each member is assigned responsibilities based on their area of expertise. Instead of juggling multiple tasks, MFPS agents hone in on one craft and become experts in that area. Unlike other firms where agents regularly compete against each other for sales, the overall structure of My Florida Property Store promotes an environment in which all agents work toward the common goal of providing the client with a seamless real estate experience.

Clients always comment on the professional look and transparency of our business cards. This sets our business model in the clients hand from the very start and many comment how our structure varies from others brokerages theyve dealt with previously. We actively communicate with our clients via their preferred method of contact, while always doing so, in what is truly their best interest. This allows us to introduce clients to associate services, who are genuinely the premier vendors within their respective businesses, unlike many one-stop shops, where the focus is on the parent company, says My Florida Property Store CEO Garry Walmsley.

My Florida Property Store offers each and every client a personally tailored, full-service real estate experience without sourcing, finders or transaction fees. This individualized service coupled with highly qualified staff and proven network of professional associate companies are part of a magnificent formula that has reshaped the Florida real estate market and will continue to improve service levels within the real estate industry.

In addition to the services discussed above, MFPS has proven and professional relationships with specialized affiliate companies to supply clients with all the services that are required to purchase and operate any property in Florida successfully including: accounting, bank account set-up, foreign exchange, interior furnishing & design, mortgage origination, property inspection or survey, property management services, taxation requirements.

My Florida Property Store understands the referral nature of the real estate industry and values the long-term relationships that it builds with each client as a result. MFPS will continue to provide a truly customized service to guide each and every client through the purchase or sales process from beginning to end. Unlike many of the real estate franchises that may have national recognition and draw many average or part-time Realtors
