The property includes a private 600-square-foot entry to the grand foyer. With only one unit on the 8th-floor landing, residents can enjoy tranquil privacy in this gated community.
The interior features 10-foot ceilings, travertine and carpeted flooring, plantation shutters, electric storm shutters on all openings, custom cabinetry, crown molding, and indirect lighting.

Naimoli, a visionary sports entrepreneur, secured the expansion franchise for the Tampa Bay area in 1995 and played a pivotal role in establishing the team’s legacy. After his tenure as managing partner concluded in 2005, Naimoli continued to be an influential figure until his passing in 2019.
