The Place at Channelside Opens Million Dollar Discovery Center

TAMPA, Fla.- (July 21, 2004)- Amidst a wave of developments, an innovative architectural newcomer has emerged. Inspired by the urban revitalization trend stemming from New York’s SoHo district in the 1980’s, The Place at Channelside offers the new standard for contemporary living.

A catalyst for Channelside’s renaissance and transformation, The Place sets the standard for metropolitan style with a unique blend of industrial functionality and creative flair in an eclectic, urban atmosphere, while still maintaining the area’s authentic nature and distinct character.

On Saturday, July 24, the Discovery Center at The Place opens to the public. The Discovery Center, constructed from an old warehouse, underwent $1 million in renovation and remodeling to create a uniquely designed, dynamic site highlighting the project’s fresh approach to high quality features and finishes. The Discovery Center at The Place allows prospective homebuyers to visualize the home by featuring a full-scale, fully-decorated model; in addition to oversized wall displays of floor plans and color patterns for floors and counter tops, a large architectural model and computer-generated, exact renderings of the development.

The Place is designed with open floor plans with a sophisticated, urban and cosmopolitan style. By touring an exact replica of one of the floor plans, individuals are immersed in the home’s unique ambiance, including spacious living environments, provocative interiors, and excellent views. The trail-blazing designs of The Place are inspired by substance and style, and seamlessly reconcile urban living with European ideals, giving new texture and meaning to ‘urban chic.’

Each of the complex’s 243 luxurious suites and penthouses incorporate innovative architecture and fine quality construction with modern design, and are exquisitely appointed with modish amenities, hardwood flooring, voluminous ceilings and spacious full-glass balconies. The property’s exclusive state-of-the-art fitness center, pool and spa with shaded cabanas, lavish courtyard and terraces, multi-purpose community lounge and library, and 24-hour doorman and concierge center will cater to the on-the-go lifestyle of area professionals.

In addition, The Place will include a retail component providing all the amenities a resident will need in one convenient location. The property aims to host an eclectic blend of upscale European-style retail shops, including a sidewalk cafe, unique boutiques, local grocer and newsstand, artists’ studios/galleries, wine store, day spa, dry cleaners and convenient bank ATM.

"Channelside is a natural for The Place because of the unique blend of amenities within walking distance. Our project wants to set the tone for future gentrification," said Fida Sirdar, Key Developers Group president and developer of The Place.

Future residents can select floor plans for suites and penthouses ranging from 926 to 3665 square feet, plus 9 studios at 600 square feet, with prices ranging from the $180’s to $1 million +.

The Discovery Center is located at 918 Channelside Drive, across from the Port of Tampa. Sales office hours are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday thru Friday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Saturday, and noon - 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call (813) 272-2121 or visit www.theplacecondos.com.

New and unprecedented, The Place at Channelside is as unique as its setting. Innovative architecture and high-quality construction is invigorated with contemporary design flair in the angled geometry of spacious interiors. Furnishings have been thoughtfully selected for quality and originality. For today’s lifestyles, the eHome technology and security features and options are in place. The Place also features resort-style amenities in a landscape of visual delights and European-style pedestrian-friendly sidewalks alongside attractively appointed shops and retail services – a first in Tampa.
