The Lutgert Companies open Esperia South at Bonita Bay
MARKET NEWS

The Lutgert Companies has opened Esperia South at Bonita Bay, the fifth of eight high-rises being developed within the Bonita Springs community.

The 27-story building has 110 residences and nine penthouses. Only 25 residences and two penthouses remain available.

An adjoining resort-style amenity complex has a heated, lagoon-style pool with lap lane, oversized whirlpool, barbecue grills and an outdoor bar with screened cabana and fireplace, as well as an expansive clubroom with bar and catering kitchen, 11-seat minitheater, billiard room and health club with a fully equipped fitness center and steam and massage rooms. The complex also includes four designer-furnished suites for overnight guests and the manager's residence.

A nature preserve and the ninth green of the Bay Island golf course border the Esperia South site. The high-rise's view to the west includes Estero Bay, Bonita Beach and the Gulf of Mexico. Eastern views cover Bonita Bay, where one-half of the 2,400-acre community is devoted to golf courses, parks, natural areas and other open spaces.

Esperia South offers five different floor plans on each of its 22 floors. Remaining residences, each with 2,020 to 2,730 square feet of interior space and 208 to 339 square feet of terrace area, are priced from $816,000 to $1,446,000. The two penthouses, each with 2,210 square feet of indoor space and a 208-square-foot screened terrace, are priced at $1,470,000 and $1,520,000, including enclosed garages on the first and second levels of the building.

Esperia South's tower residences have nine-andone half-foot-tall ceilings and eight-foot-tall sliding glass doors, and the penthouses have 10-and-onehalf foot-tall ceilings and nine-foot-tall sliding glass doors. The variety of floor plans creates different views from residence to residence, and the abundant use of glass maximizes the impact of those views.

Work is being completed on six model residences with interiors by Beasley & Henley Interior Design, Collins & DuPont Interiors, Gary David Designs, Marc-Michaels Interior Design, Robb & Stucky and Romanza Interior Design.

Bonita Bay was included among Golf Magazine Living's 50 Best Golf Communities for 2006, Travel + Leisure Golf's top 100 golf communities in America in 2006, LINKS Magazine's 2006-07 list of America's 100 Premier Properties and Golf Connoisseur's 2007 list of the top 40 golf communities in America.
