Luxury condominiums overlook Wiggins Pass…
Aqua, the luxury waterfront condominium that opened earlier this month at Wiggins Pass, has announced a program of open houses for real estate agents. In addition to touring the building and its amenities, agents will have access to models designed by Roz Travis and Robb & Stucky.
The open house schedule is as follows:
•3-5 p.m. Thursdays, March 5, 12, 19 and 26
An intimate community of just 80 residences, Aqua was conceived and created with exceptional standards in construction, amenities, finishings and services. Included among its offerings is a private yacht harbor from which boats up to 55 feet long have the most immediate deepwater Gulf access in Naples. Overlooking the harbor, a resort-style pool is graced with lush palm canopies and two heated spas. Landscaped petfriendly areas are nearby.
Aqua’s indoor luxuries include a fully equipped fitness center and spa with steam and sauna; a sweeping social salon; an indoor/outdoor Sky Lounge; private dining room; theater; business center; and a luxury guest suite available to owners to accommodate friends and relatives.
Each residence has two under-building parking spaces; penthouse owners benefit from a private, air-conditioned two-car garage. Air-conditioned storage is provided to each residence.
Priced from under $2 million, threeand four-bedroom residences range from 3,500 square feet to 6,000 square feet and feature sunlit living areas, spacious terraces, high ceilings and gourmet kitchens and sunlit back-to-front living areas.
For Aqua residents, the highest level of personal service is customary. A fulltime resident manager supervises a staff that includes a concierge, valet, amenities attendant and privacy officer after business hours. Upon request of the concierge, virtually any service can be extended: limousine, valet, auto care, shopping assistance, grocery delivery, pet care, housekeeping, handyman, personal fitness and spa treatment. Also, through special arrangements secured exclusively for Aqua residents, memberships to Collier’s Reserve Country Club and LaPlaya Beach and Golf Club are available.

Quail West clubhouse, community thrive despite developer Ginn’s woes
The two championship Arthur Hills golf courses are open. The golf shop is fully stocked. The resort-style clubhouse is busy with activities, from bridge games and bocce to dinner dances and wine tastings. The clay tennis courts are ready for play.
Inside the clubhouse, the fitness center offers its usual classes, from Pilates to yoga. The salon still pampers members with massages and pedicures.
Two weeks ago, affiliates of developer Ginn Cos. based in Celebration in Central Florida, filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy petitions related to investments made in two high-end communities: Tesoro in St. Lucie and Quail West.
The filing for Quail West didn’t include the clubhouse, the golf courses or any of the common areas. They are controlled by the Quail West Foundation, the community’s homeowners association, said John Gamba, a foundation board member.
The bankruptcy involves 262 lots in Quail West, beach property off Hickory Boulevard and a sales office that were owned by Ginn-LA, he said. The sales office is now closed.
“The association at Quail West is not part of that filing. That entity is still an operating entity,” said Tom O’Brien, a foundation board member. The trustee for the Chapter 7 case has told residents the priority is to keep the club operating. The club has hundreds of members. No one has pulled out because of the bankruptcy filing, Kessel said.
One way the association is looking to better the situation is to offer trial memberships that require paying dues only, and no membership fee, as a way to increase revenues. The association is also looking at lowering its initiation fee of $175,000 to bring in more members temporarily.
“You’ve got a lot of residents in this community that are committed,” Kessel said. “That’s what you need to keep a community going.”

Sales of existing homes across U.S. up in September
Sales of existing homes rose by the largest amount in more than five years in September, a real estate trade group said Friday. The data is a possible glimmer of hope that the housing slump could be starting to bottom out.
The National Association of Realtors said Friday that sales of existing homes rose by 5.5 percent in September compared to August, the best showing since a 5.6 percent increase in July 2003, during the five-year housing boom.
Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the Realtors, said a sales turnaround first seen in California was beginning to broaden to other regions of the country including Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri and Rhode Island.
The rise in September sales pushed activity to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.18 million units last month. Sales were up 9.6 percent on a year-over-year basis before adjusting for seasonal changes.
By region of the country, sales soared by 16.8 percent in the West and rose a more moderate 4.4 percent in the Midwest and 2.2 percent in the South. The only region of the country which saw a decline was the Northeast, where sales fell by 1.1 percent.
