It’s often been said that the number one factor when it comes to real estate sales is location, location, location. Perhaps the latest example of the wisdom of those words can be found at Aura at Metropolitan Naples, located on a 5.3-acre parcel at the intersection of Fifth Avenue South and Davis Boulevard, just a short walk or bike ride to downtown Naples.
The 15-story Aura features only 56 luxury residences and, after only a few months in the market, reservation activity is very brisk.
There are so many reasons for Aura’s popularity. Some say it’s the unique floorplans and incredible terraces. Others admit it’s the tower’s amenities which includes a rooftop infinity pool and fitness center.
And all agree it’s the tower’s proximity to Naples’ downtown area, plus the fact that Aura is actually part of its own self-contained community where residents and visitors can live, work and play without ever leaving Metropolitan Naples.
“Aura is at a premiere location where residents will not only have phenomenal views of downtown Naples, Naples Bay and even the Gulf of Mexico, but they can walk or bike to the downtown area within just a few minutes,” said Jerry Starkey, a long-time Naples residents and respected veteran developer, who along with fellow Naples resident and developer, Fred
Pezeshkan, are developing Metropolitan Naples.
Aura’s proximity to downtown is a major draw, but many are realizing the benefit of simply taking the elevator down a few floors and enjoying the fine and casual dining, as well as the boutique shops planned for the street level in Metropolitan Naples, which promises to be an energetic community.
“Sure, downtown is close, but many will chose to simply stay home to enjoy their own special neighborhood,” reflected Starkey.
All of the parking at Aura and Metropolitan Naples in general is located in protected garages convenient for residents with private access, and for restaurant, retail and office patrons in other portions of the garages.
Starkey added, “We’ve tried to incorporate convenience and safety into the world-class lifestyle people who live in and visit Naples expect. Simply put, Metropolitan Naples will be a dining, shopping and work destination in its own right.”
The residences at Aura are also pretty spectacular in their own right. The mix of two-, three- and four-bedroom residences, many with a den, are priced from $1.9 to over $6 million.
The five penthouses range from 3,153 to 6,202 total living area, while the residences below them range in size from 1,898 to 3,923 total living area. Only two of the five penthouses remain available.
