1200 Hillsboro Mile hosts event for top brokers

Feb. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- HILLSBORO BEACH, Fla.  -- More than 50 real estate professionals recently attended an event, including a tour of a Robb & Stucky Interiors model, at the new 1200 Hillsboro Mile luxury condominium in Hillsboro Beach. Among VIP guests were Michael Pappas, president of Keyes Company Realtors; Keyes Executive Vice President Steve Reibel; Keyes Vice President Fritz Hawkins; Patrick A. Marrano, president of Marrano/Marc Equity Corporation, whose company is developing 1200 Hillsboro Mile; and Marrano Vice President of Sales & Marketing John Manns.

They were joined by Keyes district sales managers and select members of the Luxury Portfolio Fine Property Collection. Luxury Portfolio is the luxury division of the Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, which produces nearly $400 billion in annual home sales with 120,000 associates around the globe.

According to 1200 Hillsboro Mile’s Sales Director Kathleen Cunningham, Keyes is the exclusive sales agent for 1200 and invites participation from other brokerages. “It was great to welcome the Luxury Portfolio group here, as they focus on the upper tier of the market – typically residences valued at $1 million or more,” she said. “These real estate pros were excited to see what 1200 Hillsboro Mile is presenting along ‘The Mile,’ a prestigious yet quaint residential stretch overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway, between Boca Raton and Fort Lauderdale to the south. We know these top professionals will bring clients here to show them all that what we have to offer. ”

“At 1200 Hillsboro Mile, you can enjoy the best of both worlds – the simplicity of life in a condominium and the privacy of a new building with only 11 residences,” said Michael Pappas, president of Keyes Company Realtors. “The convenience of luxury still matters. Here you’ll find it in a great location along The Mile, with large-sized units. There’s no question that the location is excellent – on the Intracoastal and across the street from the ocean. That’s what most of us come to Florida for.”

After enjoying wine and hors d’oeuvres, guests ascended the elevators to the third floor of the Intracoastal building where Robb & Stucky interior design consultant Richard Ramus took them into a residence that was unfinished. Next they visited a similar residence that had recently been furnished by Ramus and designer Rene Evans, ASID. “The furnished model received rave reviews. It has fabulous water views, a functional three bedroom layout, high-end interior features and a ‘beachy fresh’ décor sure to appeal to prospective buyers,” Cunningham pointed out.

Nita Summers, district sales manager of Keyes in Boca Raton, refers to 1200 Hillsboro Mile as a “jewel.” She said the location has no commercial buildings and it is quiet, although every imaginable convenience is a short drive away – from world-class restaurants to fashionable shopping and great entertainment and cultural attractions.

In addition to the completed 1200 Hillsboro Mile Intracoastal building, a second three-story building, accommodating 18 residences, will rise directly across the street on the Atlantic Ocean.

“The 29 new condominiums at 1200 Hillsboro Mile present a rare purchase opportunity,” Cunningham added. Two floor plan options, each with three bedrooms and two and one-half baths, have more than 2,000 total square feet and feature large, covered terraces that extend the living space to the outdoors. They are priced from the $800,000s to $1,305,000 in the Intracoastal building and pre-construction priced from $1,445,000 to $1,895,000 in the oceanfront building.

Marrano/Marc Equity has secured financing for qualified buyers who want it, taking the hassle out of the lending process during a credit crunch.

Along with the media clubroom with entertainment deck, the building has an inviting lobby, fitness center, beach and Intracoastal access, dock space for two visitors’ crafts up to 50 feet each, swimming pool and pool house.

Marrano builds distinctive single-family homes and patio homes in the Western New York State market, in addition to condominium communities in South Florida, and $500,000 to $3 million estate residences in some of the most prestigious waterfront and county club communities in West Palm Beach and areas to the north.
