Clearwater Beach Real Estate - Beach Walk Update

The 268-Unit Aqualea Resort Condominium Hotel and Residences got it's financing this week and now it's official the project is moving forward. 

The rendering on the left is what's coming by the end of 2009.

The photo on the right is how it looks today - just south of Pier 60.

As you can see Aqualea is in the very beginning stages of it's construction phase. The look of Clearwater Beach is changing dramatically with the on-going development of Beach walk and all the new luxury condos being built. 

Aqualea is located on South Gulfview Blvd on Clearwater Beach and is considered the centerpiece of Clearwater's new Beach Walk. It will be managed by Hyatt's resort Management.

The Aqualea Resort Condominium Hotel and Residences will be almost 1 million square feet of pure luxury when it's complete. They are planning for the building to be completed by the end of 2009.

Aqualea will be made up of: 

• Hotel rooms;
• Condo Hotel units - to be managed by Hyatt's resort management program and can be rented when not in use;
• Luxury Condominium Residences - available for full-time residence;

 Aqualea 4 Star Resort Planned Amenities:

• (2) large landscaped swimming pools including kids only section - on the 8th and 16th floors;
• Beachside towel and beverage service;
• The White Orchid Spa and Fitness Center;
• Private air-conditioned poolside cabanas.
• Library;
• Media room;
• Private Screening Room for "movie night"
• Private Dining Room;
• Business Center.
• 2nd Floor Oystercatchers Restaurant;

Aqualea Luxury Condominium Prices:

• Condos for Sale for $485,000 to $1.4 million;
• a $5.4 million penthouse;

None of the residential units have been sold yet.  They plan to begin selling these in 16 months (around the 1 quarter of 2009) when they can actually walk people through the building.

Aqualea was one of nine new luxury beach condo development projects announced for Clearwater Beach since early 2005.

This is a picture I took this Spring at Pier 60 when the City was celebrating Clearwater Beach Walk - the castle was not done when I took the photo but what a shame that Indigo Beach has already been cancelled. So what's happening with the other 8 planned developments? Here's an update:
