Embrace The Tampa Lifestyle
A recent boom in condominium construction has propelled Tampa’s luxury residential market onto the national stage. A market once overlooked by out-of-town buyers and investors, captivated by the allure of established markets like Miami and Orlando, has now emerged as a sizzling hot spot in the United States. Buyers from across the country have discovered the Tampa Bay area and rushed to own a piece of paradise.
From August to October 2023, Tampa witnessed a surge in interest from buyers across major cities, with the highest search volumes originating from New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, and San Diego, according to Redfin. The surging demand for sophisticated luxury waterfront living has propelled developers to new architectural and design frontiers, said Dominic Pickering, BTI Partners
Executive Director of Florida’s West Coast.
BTI Partners is the visionary behind Marina Pointe, an epitome of luxury among Tampa’s condominiums, and the sole high-rise on the bay with its own exclusive marina. Drawn by the allure of a sun-kissed lifestyle, northeastern buyers often seek out a quality of life that thrives on the vibrant energy of outdoor activities. At Marina Pointe, residents often spend countless hours enjoying the golf simulator, exhilarating water sports, and the tranquility of boating, all within the embrace of the property’s exceptional amenities.
“We picked Marina Pointe because the private marina was big to us,” said a Marina Pointe owner who just moved into his condo residence in the recently completed Tower I. “We wanted to downsize our house and upsize our boat. So those hard amenities, including the large pool, are what really pulled us in. But once you get here, you realize it is the people, our neighbors, who make a difference. We, for the first time in many years, have friends that we know by first names and
socialize with. It’s great.”
For non-boaters, Marina Pointe provides an idyllic retreat, offering unobstructed views of the glistening bay and breathtaking sunsets, creating the perfect ambiance for relaxation and reconnecting with nature. Tampa’s new generation of luxury developments has set a new benchmark in amenities, surpassing the expectations of out-of-town buyers accustomed to other sophisticated housing markets like New York, Washington and Boston.
At Marina Pointe, residents enjoy an unrivaled array of amenities, including private boat slips in a luxurious on-site deep-water marina managed by a full-time dock master. Oversized resort-style pool decks overlook scenic Tampa Bay, offering residents a tranquil retreat throughout the year. Spacious pools, heated just right for year-round enjoyment, provide the perfect setting for relaxation and recreation. State- of-the-art golf and sport simulators cater to the discerning golfer, while entertainment rooms and gyms overlooking the bay offer ample opportunities for fitness and leisure. For furry companions, a secured off-leash dog park with pet-friendly turf ensures endless playtime and camaraderie.
“There are endless types of activities to do at Marina Point,” another resident said, as she was getting ready to go paddle boarding. “It’s just enough to keep you busy day and night. Sometimes, I pinch myself and ask do I really live here? I mean, it’s just a fantastic location. Great neighbors, a wonderful developer and I am just so grateful and thankful to be a resident here.”
With the new condo owners at Marina Pointe Tower One settling into their new residences, the Developer is rapidly putting Tower Two condos under contract, highlighting the growing local and domestic demand for luxurious waterfront living on Florida’s West Coast.
