BOCA RATON, Fla. – LXR Luxury Resorts & Hotels welcomed more than 150 guests recently to a memorable evening celebrating the topping off of its ultra-luxurious One Thousand Ocean. The seven-story condominium building is located on a private peninsula surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Intracoastal on the southeastern coast of Florida.
The entrance and lobby of the crescent-shaped building, which is a construction zone, had been concealed by lush foliage, billowing curtains, white leather seating, and glistening crystal chandeliers set against a dramatic backdrop of ocean views.
Though not complete, a two-story Beach Villa – with design inspiration by designer Nancy Corzine – was open for tours and received rave reviews. “Our guests loved the inventive layouts, soaring 20-foot ceiling heights that are available in several units with floor-to-ceiling glass, and sensational panoramas from a location bordering what is arguably the most coveted inlet along Florida’s Gold Coast,” said a proud Jamie Telchin, LXR’s president of development. “Furthermore, immediately adjacent to One Thousand Ocean to the north is the Boca Raton Resort & Club’s Boca Beach Club, another LXR property. Consequently, our future residents will have access to the amenities of the Resort, at both the Beach Club and at the main locale just across the Intracoastal Waterway. A legend among world resorts, it is a haven of lush beauty, comfort and sophistication. One Thousand Ocean will reflect this as well.”
Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed sushi by Morimoto and Sweets by Serendipity as upbeat music floated through the air.
The event guest list read like a Who’s Who and ranged from city officials, buyers and prospective buyers to LXR executives, project consultants, Nancy Corzine, leading brokers and the media. “Everyone was anxious to see the construction progress that is transforming the vision for One Thousand Ocean into a reality and affirming that it is indeed the once-in-a-lifetime purchase opportunity,”
When The Honorable Susan Whelchel, mayor of Boca Raton, was called upon to address guests, she remarked, “Luxury Resorts & Hotels and Blackstone have come together to produce one of the great highlights of our city. They’ve worked tirelessly with their neighbors and the city to bring the building to fruition.” She noted that the other highlight is the Boca Beach Club, which recently underwent a $115 million renovation.
“This is a rare opportunity for oceanfront living for 52 select residents. We already have executed contracts on numerous residences and prime locations are still available,” Telchin said. “Despite the economy, we’re having a better sales season than in 2008 and I attribute that to the product we are delivering. A project directly on the ocean and adjacent to the Resort seems to be the outlier – in a very good way – to an otherwise hurting real estate market.”
Inside the new building, two-story Beach Villas harmoniously blend with Residences and Penthouses. Units average 4,000 square feet under air, with terraces averaging just under 1,200 square feet. Prices start at $2.75 million. Among features are private elevator landings, floor-to-ceiling glass, fireplaces, outdoor terraces with private plunge pools and outdoor kitchens, as well as two-car garages.
Completion of the building is expected by the end of 2009.
