Tampa-based Garrison Developer Group of Florida (GDGFL) announced the completion of The Preserve at Alafia, a waterfront luxury apartment community situated 12 minutes from downtown Tampa. A Grand Opening Celebration will be held on Thursday, August 4, 2011 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Located at 10110 Gibsonton Drive, Riverview, the naturally contemporary residences are spaciously poised over 40 acres along the Alafia River. The Preserve nestles up to more than 80 acres of the adjacent pristine county-protected preserve and wetlands, providing residents an ideal suburban feel.
“We are simply delighted to celebrate completion and occupancy of this tremendous multi-family project within Tampa’s Riverview/Brandon community with our development partners and notable locals,” remarked Rey Ortega, president of Garrison Developer Group of Florida (GDGFL), the organization that led the new project.
Waterfront resort amenities are central to the lifestyle of The Preserve at Alafia. These unique features, coupled
with residents’ unimpeded access to both downtown Tampa and Riverview/Brandon, have driven rapid leasing of apartments at the Preserve according to Scott Baad, partner at Patriot Residential Management Services, the professional firm in charge of managing The Preserve at Alafia.
“There is not a single traffic light between The Preserve and both Downtown Tampa and the Brandon Town Center. Both are just minutes away on I-75,” said Baad. “The lure of living in a luxurious, secluded resort environment with immediate city access is simply unprecedented in Tampa Bay.”
The Preserve is less than 12 minutes from downtown Tampa via the adjacent Crosstown expressway. Covered parking and storage is enjoyed by all tenants, with the added bonus of elevator service at the Preserve’s Mid-Rise buildings. The Preserve at Alafia offers amenities not found in other apartment communities in the Tampa Bay area, notably a day dock and storage for canoes and kayaks, a riverfront clubhouse with a fitness center, an outdoor fireplace lounge, yoga pavilion and pet agility park. Residents can access the 80 acres of adjacent preserve for hiking, refine their golf games on the putting green, enjoy the challenge of billiards and access the property’s theater/conference room.
“We are excited to bring this upscale resort-style apartment community to Tampa Bay,” said Ortega. “This project has created a new gateway for the Riverview community, and our residents will contribute significantly to the economy of this area.”
The 351 luxury apartments of The Preserve are comprised of one, two and three-bedroom garden and mid-rise apartment homes. The residences of The Preserve at Alafia are the first phase of a total $100 million three-phase multi-use project featuring the Shoppes at Alafia Crossing, which consist of retail and office space and a full-service Holiday Inn with a conference center and restaurant. Alafia Crossing is set to open in the Fall 2012.
According to project developers, life at The Preserve at Alafia is about catering to the needs of its residents. In addition to numerous onsite amenities, the project has established relationships with many area businesses that will provide discounts on a variety of local goods and services.
