Take one step into the grand entry of the new Moraya Bay Beach Tower on
Vanderbilt Beach, and view a panorama of turquoise and emerald colored
Gulf waters across a lobby as large as the upper deck of an ocean liner.
Architect Van Auken Miller of Naples created a jaw dropping sense of
arrival with splashing fountains, skyrocketing sculptures of water and
fire, and extraordinary curved glass "window walls" and Gulf-front
balconies.
The curvilinear entrance foyer and lobby is an overwhelming space with
an unbroken view of the water's edge to welcome residents and leave
guests with an unforgettable impression.
Giant squares of glass set within flowing curved walls define the
contemporary 11-story tower of luxury residences. The polished stone
floors reflect the colors of the beach and sky. Rich dark woods define
the concierge's desk and station in the tradition of a five-star resort.
Moraya Bay Beach Tower by Signature Communities on Vanderbilt Beach will
open this summer. The tower is located at the northernmost end of Gulf
Shore Drive. The views to the north extend for three miles across state
and county park-protected conservation areas beyond Wiggins Pass to
Barefoot Beach Park.
Signature Communities, who have built over 3,000 luxury residences in
Naples, consider Moraya Bay to be the company's crowning achievement.
Residents are steps away from the beach and can comb it for miles to
Wiggins Pass without passing another condominium.
Moraya Bay Beach Tower is the culmination of two decades of Signature
luxury residences and a history that includes development of prestigious
neighborhoods: Pelican Bay, Pelican Marsh, Regatta and The Dunes.
Residents drive to the elevated motorcourt entry and grand lobby. The
building's plaza level is dedicated to amenities. At the south end, a
glass-surrounded fitness center overlooks the beach and Gulf of Mexico.
At the northernmost end, a private clubroom and lounge command sunset
views of the Gulf.
Residents can take an elevator or outdoor stairways to two tropically
landscaped sundecks, each with a resort-style swimming and lap pool. A
poolside grotto bar is reminiscent of the Cain at the Cove pool deck
within the Atlantis resort on Paradise Island. The dune line between the
pools and the Gulf's shore has been planted with native vegetation.
Private elevators open directly into each residence. A second service
elevator also opens into the owner's service hall. Floor plans are open
and light filled offering up to 4,500 square feet of air-conditioned
space and 5,400 square feet of total living area. Prices range from $2.9
to $4.9 million.
Nine-foot ceiling heights and floor-to-ceiling window walls capture and
accentuate the feeling of openness. Wide and deep covered open air
terraces with glass rails wrap around each residence to create panoramic
vistas. From the grand salon, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom,
residents will view the Gulf and beach.
Those who love to entertain will appreciate their gourmet kitchen and
the adjacent pantry and catering kitchen. These large open spaces
include stainless steel appliances, granite countertops and custom
European cabinetry. GE Monogram appliances include a gas cook top,
icemaker, Advantium combination convection/conventional ovens,
side-by-side refrigerator, and under-counter wine cooler. All kitchens
adjoin catering kitchens which include a full size refrigerator, double
sink, dishwasher, wine coolers and additional counter and storage space.
The baths feature marble countertops, jetted tubs and all-glass showers
and his-and-her water closets. Master bedrooms include room sized
walk-in dressing rooms.
The 06 Residence exemplifies the luxury offered within the tower. The
private elevator doors open to views that expand outward to the Gulf and
beach. Three bedrooms each have private baths.
The beachfront master suite includes a 23-by-9-foot, 6-inch dressing
room. All main living areas - family room, grand salon, dining room and
gourmet kitchen - are focused toward the arch of a window-wall that
opens to a 670-square-foot open terrace.
Floor-to-ceiling window walls capture gulf-front breezes and accentuate
the feeling of openness. Wide and deep covered terraces with glass rails
wrap around each residence to create panoramic vistas.
From the grand salon, dining room, kitchen and master bedroom,
residents will view the Gulf and the beach.
Over half of the 72 tower residences have been sold. Residences are
smart-wired for a variety of advanced technological features for
entertaining and communication.
Glenn Griffin serves as chief marketing officer of Signature Communities.
"Forever views and value best describes the Moraya Bay Beach Tower,"
said Griffin, and potential buyers will find this a most fortunate time
to purchase, as they can tour the nearly finished building, choose their
views and create the home of their dreams."
