New Aqua Sales and Preview Center is a Sparkling Introduction to the Community

By Jennifer Marko

Grand opening of the new facility marks Aqua's official launch onto the market - Sales centers may come and go with each new development in Naples, but one in particular is a stand out this season. The new sales gallery for the super luxury condominium community, Aqua at Pelican Isle Yacht Club, is a "sparkling" example of what is to come with the upscale, waterfront property.

Sparkling describes two spectacular water features, which grace the new facility. Visitors will walk through floor-to-ceiling waterfalls showcasing the Aqua logo etched into glass behind constant, flowing ribbons of water– an allusion to Aqua's 29-slip marina, located on bay waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Located at 13240 Tamiami Trail North, in the Royal Cove Plaza adjacent to Abbey Carpet, the sales gallery is an expansive 3,000 square feet, complete with offices for The Bentley Sales Group, the exclusive real estate firm selected to market the property.

The graceful furnishings, state-of-the-art conference room and welcoming atmosphere combine to create an elegant environment at the sales gallery, giving visitors a glimpse into the special ambiance at Aqua. A full time concierge will even be on hand at the facility, allowing guests to experience the level of style and service that Aqua will offer. According to Ed Oelschlaeger, President of EcoGroup, Inc., the developer of Aqua, first impressions are very important when purchasing a home.

"With the two Aqua residential towers not yet under construction, we have to use other avenues to communicate the feel of the community, and the sales center is often the first impression that one encounters," he said. "It is important to reflect that certain level of sophistication and style, which Aqua will offer, and I am confident we've achieved that goal."

The luxury amenities and community features of Aqua will rival any luxury resort and truly set this community apart from the rest. Aqua's two-story, glass arrival lobby will overlook sparkling fountains and a resort-style pool, as well as a private marina with direct Gulf access. Lush rooftop gardens, a private theater, cigar lounge, billiards and wine tasting rooms and a tranquil spa and fitness center are only a few of the many luxuries offered to home owners at Aqua. Add the 5-Star concierge services and a marina which houses yachts of up to 55 feet, and Aqua is truly the premiere super luxury condominium community of the season.
