CLEARWATER - JMC Communities, an award-winning St. Petersburg-based developer specializing in luxurious waterfront communities, has announced its newest property, Marquesas. Inspired by the French Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific, the upscale condominium development will be located on Clearwater Beach at the site of the Holiday Inn Sunspree hotel at 715 S. Gulfview Blvd. The hotel will close July 31.
Groundbreaking for Marquesas is anticipated for fall 2006, with plans for completion for the first building in late 2008. The recently opened sales center is located across from the development site at 770 S. Gulfview Blvd.
The six-acre site has 700 feet of direct beach frontage. Marquesas will feature two 15-story towers with 142 beachfront residences and six penthouses, most with thru-views. The residences will be some of the largest homes offered on the beach, ranging from 1,675 to 2,579 square feet of interior space, while the penthouses range from 3,075 to 4,466 square feet.
Sales will open in July and prices are anticipated to begin at just under $1 million.
