Europa By The Sea

This fifteen story Mediterranean style mid-rise condominium will be a spectacularly luxurious home to just fifty very discerning homeowners.

The building is near completion and is expected to open any day now.

Only a few units remain available from the developer, and a Resale Program is now underway.

This will give people who cannot follow through on their purchase contracts an opportunity to reassign those contracts, and give you an opportunity to buy an oceanfront condominium in a new luxury building starting at around $500 per square foot. 

Today available units range from just under $2 million to just under $3 million for for a 4000 square foot, three bedroom, three and a half bath luxury oceanfront residence.

Prices for these beachfront residences compare very favorably to other new beachfront property, and to even to far less to distinguished new construction projects at inland locations. 

We expect at least one unit in most floorplans and price ranges to become available between now and the building's opening date.  Ask Edwards Realty Group about availability of resales at Europa as availability will change from day to day. 

Prices go up to over $4.5 million for the most breathtaking penthouse, nearly 7,000 air conditioned square feet and five terraces including one that wraps around the east corner of the building.

At Europa, you'll zip up to your residence in a private elevator that opens into your own foyer.  

Residences are graced with nine foot high ceilings in most living areas and flow graciously.  Most will include gas fired fireplaces, a very unusual feature here in South Florida.  

The smallest residence is three bedrooms, three and a half opulent baths, 3,411 air conditioned square feet plus three expansive terraces, accessed through floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.  

Master Suites have enormous walk-in closets.  Lavish Master Baths have marble everywhere and separate enclosures for water closet and bidet, Kohler® whirlpool tubs and Luxury Kohler® plumbing fixtures and accessories.  Other bathrooms also include marble floors, vanity tops and tub surrounds.  Kitchens are finished with polished granite countertops and custom Italian made designer cabinets.  Refrigerators are 48" Sub-Zero® brand and include icemakers.  Glass door wine coolers, Miele® double wall ovens and dishwashers are all included.   Microwaves are built-in and laundry rooms are equipped with top-quality washers and dryers.   

In addition, Europa has permission to tap into the gas line along highway A1A.  This means gas cook tops, a feature nearly unattainable in South Florida, will be available at Europa.  Fireplaces will also be fired with natural gas.  

It seems that every imaginable service has been planned for and every amenity has been thought of and included.

Outdoor recreational facilities will include a beautifully landscaped second level where you'll find the heated swimming pool, outdoor whirlpool spa, and "Club Europa" providing food and beverage service to shaded bistro tables and chaise lounges, and the beautifully outfitted beach-side sun deck.  

Indoors, residents will be able to stay fit in the poolside fitness center with locker rooms, weight training, and cardio equipment plus an area for aerobics, yoga, massage and sauna.  

The building also provides each owner with two assigned, secure parking spaces rather than the usual one space per unit.  Other extras include air-conditioned storage lockers, 24 hour access monitoring and closed circuit television surveillance, 24-hour concierge service/ lobby attendant and available valet parking.  

Also included is the very latest "smart building" technology with residences pre-wired for voice, data and computer networking, cable and satellite TV.  

Portable touch screen panels will control lighting, music, appliances, window coverings, personal computers, entertainment systems.  These will also be used to communicate with the concierge and valet.  You can even lock and unlock the front door, turn lights on and off, and more from a remote location.  

That's just the beginning. 

Europa is located in Lauderdale By The Sea, just north of Fort Lauderdale's gold coast of beachfront hi-rise condos, the Galt Ocean Mile.  It is slated for occupancy in March 2006 and is worth waiting for.  

It also might be the last great new building in the area for some time.  

The political climate has turned against what some perceive as "over development" and Lauderdale By The Sea enacted a building height restriction of 45 feet shortly after this project was approved.  A similar climate exists in Pompano Beach to the north and to the south in Fort Lauderdale, where Galt Ocean Mile is (for all intent and purposes) built out and few sites for new beachfront construction remain elsewhere.  

As a result, this project has created considerable buzz in the real estate community.  If this is the sort of home you have been waiting for, the time to act is now. 

Dog Owners take note:  Europa is a "pet friendly" condo with some restrictions on nuisance animals.
