Developer delivers Margaritaville to region

BRADENTON — Minto Communities and lifestyle hospitality brand Margaritaville Holdings have partnered together to develop a new marina and 132 luxury residences at Harbour Isle in Bradenton.

Plans for the project, named One Particular Harbour, include a marina with 55 wet slips and 128 dry slips and up to 30,000 square feet of commercial space with restaurants, entertainment and shops. State-of-the-art aspects of the project, according to a statement, feature floating boat docks and an enclosed boat storage facility capable of supporting vessels up to 42 feet in length.

Construction on the marina part of the project has begun and is scheduled for completion by spring 2018.

Margaritaville's relaxed, coastal-inspired design traces back to the brand's founder and inspiration — singer, songwriter and author, Jimmy Buffett, “whose songs evoke a passion for tropical escape and relaxation,” the release states. Margaritaville includes nine destination resorts/hotels across the southeast and the Caribbean, in addition to 20 locations in active development; four gaming locations; and more than 60 food and beverage locations.

“We look forward to bringing Margaritaville's fun, escapism and casual-luxe lifestyle to Harbour Isle, a community already known for its charming seaside appeal,” Margaritaville CEO John Cohlan says in the statement.

The One Particular Harbour residences will be located in the Marina Walk neighborhood of Harbour Isle, Minto's 220-acre private island community on Anna Maria Sound, directly across from Anna Maria Island. The residences feature island-inspired design and luxury finishes, and all units offer spectacular views of Anna Maria Sound or the lagoon.

Priced from the high $400s, residences in Marina Walk range from 1,483 square feet under air to 1,650 square feet under air. “The Marina Walk residences on One Particular Harbour will provide owners with walkable access to boating, dining and entertainment on Florida's last private island in one of the most iconic Gulf Coast settings,” says William Bullock, senior vice president of Minto Communities, in the statement. “There is no other place like it.”

Harbour Isle is at 12300 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton, Florida.
