Clearwater

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.
