As locals and visitors famously enjoy fun in the sun here, the city of
Clearwater focuses development efforts on beachfront luxury resorts and on downtown projects. Waterfront
Aqualea Resort and Residences, a $105 million coral-colored luxury hotel and condominium development, opened in 2009 adjacent to the high-end
Sandpearl Resort and
Sandpearl Residences. New projects downtown include
Station Square, a 15-story residential tower, the
Strand at Clearwater Centre and
Water's Edge Opus.
