The Arcadian will include penthouses, corporate suites and one-, two-, and three-bedroom units as well as a parking garage,conference rooms, a putting green, theater, fitness center, terrace pool, concierge services, shops and a signature restaurant. According to a report in the Charlotte Observer, buyers have sign contracts on 30 units since sales began in late November. The goal is to have the building ready no later than fall 2012 but that depends on sales. One Charlotte, the 40-story luxury building planned for downtown Charlotte, which we covered last May, has now been delayed. The tower will have 13 stories with 151 units priced from $395,000 to $3 million.

Soul Surfers Paradise might not be the most sophisticated name for a building but don't let the name fool you, this Australian building is serious business.

Amenities include an integral pool deck with cascading waterfall, pool and spa, indoor heated pool, fully equipped gymnasium, sauna and steam room, outdoor relaxation space, poolside barbeque and entertainment area.

Filed under: Estates

Another condo bites the dust in Sarasota, Florida. At least temporarily. The latest project to be shelved is the Grande Sarasotan, a 17-story luxury residential tower overlooking the water. The Grande Sarasotan was to have 144 units costing an average of $1.5 million and over $4 million for the penthouses. According to an article in the Herald-Tribune, Kolter, the developer has decided to redesign the $210 project and wait for an uptick in the market. The Grande Sarasotan had received 40 reservations from buyers who had put 20% down but Kolter would have been required to have contracts for at least 70 units before being able to drawing on a loan to start construction.
