| Fort
Myers, FL – January 2010 – Robb &
Stucky Interiors, one of North America’s largest home furnishings and
interior design companies, has recently completed the interior design,
custom manufacture and installation of furnishings for a unique property
with ownership opportunities being offered in both fractional and whole
ownership.
With
interiors designed by Robb & Stucky, (www.RobbStucky.com)
construction of the 19-story The Resort at MarinaVillage at Tarpon Point
Marina was recently completed and officially opened with a gala ribbon-cutting
celebration in mid-November. Developed by Grosse Pointe Development Company,
Inc., the $150 million resort complex is the first waterfront resort in
Cape Coral, Florida.
Located
within the 147-acre planned use development of Tarpon Point Marina, The
Resort at MarinaVillage rises majestically above the Caloosahatchee
River. The Shops at MarinaVillage are located along the promenade overlooking
the 175-slip deep-water marina and will be open to the public. Parking
is available in the adjacent six-story parting structure.
Robb
& Stucky directed the total interior design for 184 two- and three-bedroom
units at the Resort at MarinaVillage, ranging from 1,235 to 2,195 square
feet in size featuring master suites, grand rooms, guest suites and private
dining terraces. Work included turnkey furnishings, bedding, window coverings,
artwork, accessories and kitchenware. Additionally, the design team, led
by Design Consultant Jan Wallace, assisted in the design of the common
areas, ballroom, and lobby, with a unique two-story water feature.

According
to Bob Hensley, CEO of Grosse Pointe Development, Inc., “Designing fully-furnished
upscale interiors that accommodate the needs and desires of demanding homeowners
of both fractional and whole ownership residences was a challenge we were
confident Robb & Stucky was capable of handling. Not only did they
create custom-designed furnishings, finishes and accessories specifically
for our property, resulting in a ‘Florida chic’ design style, they also
coordinated every aspect of the manufacturing, shipping and installation
process, relieving us from potential headaches associated with such a complex
project.”
Added
Hensley, “Since both the fractional and whole ownership units are being
sold completely furnished and to an upscale market, having the right company
to handle the interior design work was an integral element to our success.
We selected Robb & Stucky because we have used them in the past and
they always exceeded our expectations. We also chose them because of their
impressive credentials and experience with fractionals, their understanding
of the shared-use concept and the expectations of this special market.”
Commented
Dan Lubner, President of the Resort Division of Robb & Stucky Interiors,
“Because of our vertical integration, we were able to custom design and
manufacture the perfect product for this property. We are honored to offer
our unique services to Grosse Pointe Development and look forward to working
with them again in the future.”
The
Resort at MarinaVillage is being managed by Fort Myers-based SunStream
Hotels & Resorts with both fractional and whole ownership guests enjoying
full usage of the resort’s amenities including concierge and spa services,
room service, and access to a resort-style pool, spa and deck. Gary Locke
is the General Manager for the property and the Director of Hospitality
Operations for SunStream. He adds, “During the entire design and installation
process, the Robb & Stucky design team was extremely well organized,
methodical, and flexible in adjusting to our changing needs. The staff
was most conscientious and easy to work with. Our initial guests tell us
that they are truly amazed and delighted at the style and beauty of the
furnishings in both the rooms and common areas.”
Tarpon
Point Marina features a 175-slip deep-water marina, three luxury high-rise
buildings, custom estate homes, as well as coach homes with residences
priced from $400,000 to over $7 million. Fractional ownership of the resort
residences is available starting at $74,000 for a 1/12 (four-week) share.
Upon completion, Tarpon Point Marina will have 976 single-family homes,
condominiums, park homes and lake-view residences.
