Clearwater, Fla. – (January 11, 2012) – As the fastest-selling condominium community in Pinellas County, Water’s Edge is quickly becoming the Tampa Bay area’s real estate success story of the year. Fully half of all competitive property condo sales in Clearwater are happening at Water’s Edge.
With one home sale about every five days since the project was reopened for sales in July 2010, Water’s Edge has made a strong comeback in the market. “Our sales numbers prove that buyers are looking for the perfect combination of value and luxury in a waterfront setting,” says Dave Traynor, sales director, Smith & Associates Real Estate.
The community is now more than 75 percent sold, with just 35 of the building’s 153 residences available for purchase. Sales projections have the community sold out by mid-2012.
Rising 26 stories above Clearwater Harbor, Water’s Edge is quickly becoming home to residents eager to enjoy the incredible views of Florida’s Gulf Coast, the world-famous Clearwater Beach, and the active lifestyle surrounding them.
“With FHA and Fannie Mae financing available, we’re able to offer luxury living with incredible views and convenient access to the beach,” says Grant Wood, asset manager for Water’s Edge. “And although many people have taken advantage of this one-of-a-kind opportunity and tremendous value, there’s still prime inventory available in premier locations throughout the building, including penthouses.”
With many nearby condominium towers already sold out, Water’s Edge is one of the last opportunities to purchase a new construction home in a high-rise community in Pinellas County. Few other new buildings have homes available for sale, and no new projects are currently under construction, according to Bob Glaser, chief executive officer, Smith & Associates Real Estate.
Fabulous amenities, remarkable value
For buyers who want first-class luxury and are also practical in their desire to take advantage of a tremendous value that far surpasses comparable waterfront properties, Water’s Edge offers both.
Perched atop the landmark bluff overlooking Clearwater Harbor, residents enjoy amazing water views through their expansive windows or while relaxing on their covered terrace and avoid unpredictable, congested beach traffic. At the foot of the building lies the new Memorial Causeway Bridge to Clearwater Beach with pedestrian and bicycle access to the beach, along with the new 126-slip Clearwater Harbor Marina, tennis courts, and Coachman Park (site of the internationally acclaimed Clearwater Jazz Festival).
Amenities begin with a fully equipped fitness center, secure gated entry, 24-hour concierge, and two covered parking spaces and an air-conditioned storage space per home. The building offers high-quality construction – including hurricane impact glass – and, unlike beach properties, is not located in a flood zone. An outdoor fireplace on the private pool deck along with heated pool and spa, poolside pavilion and cabanas all with water vistas accent the casual style that the area represents.
An additional benefit for buyers is that this friendly, vertical community is stable; boasting no foreclosures, no Association delinquencies, funded reserves and only a few limited rentals.
Two- and three-bedroom residences range from 1,331 to 3,400 square feet, with prices ranging from $205,000 to $1.575 million, and feature exceptional interior details including open plan kitchens and luxurious master suites.

At the Water’s Edge Grand Re-Opening in July, in which the Downtown Clearwater landmark announced the once in a lifetime opportunity of half off prices, Maxwell Drever of Concierge Asset Management promised to more than 700 guests in front of the resort-style pool the building would be” lit up like a Christmas tree” come December. Less than five months later, over 50 families will be opening presents in a new home this year.
