Despite Decline in Real Estate Market, the Slade Continues to Sell

Tampa, FL – As the Florida real estate market begins exhibiting signs of cooling off, and median home prices drop, developers such as the Cobalt group continue to stoke the fire. The Slade development, located in Tampa’s up-and-coming Channelside District, surpassed the 60 percent mark last month and the trend has continued through May. “Despite the reports of home prices and condominium sales falling, unit sales at the Slade have remained steady,” said Adriana Vargas, International Sales Director for The Slade. “I think this is a perfect example of how an attractive offering in

an up-and-coming area can still provide value to buyers regardless of trends.” Interested buyers should move quickly to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in an affordable property while units are still available. Over 60 percent of the available units have already sold.

This state of the art 280-unit development offers affordable first-class luxury facilities including a cinematic private theater, a deluxe two-level fitness center with steam baths, whirlpool spa, and a rooftop sun deck with fantastic views of the downtown skyline. At the Slade, residents will also enjoy private facilities designed for the health of the mind and body such as a yoga room overlooking the pool deck featuring a serene infinity edge pool, soothing salt water pool and private cabanas for extra comfort and luxury. Other amenities include free wireless internet and a cyber café. The units range in size from 780-square-feet to 1,539-square-feet, and convey elegance and style with nine foot ceilings, large walk-in closets, floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, windows exceeding hurricane code standards and oversized balconies. Each kitchen is designed with granite countertops, Italian cabinetry, GE-Profile stainless-steel appliances including a convection oven, built-in wine cooler and stackable washer/dryer in the two and three bedroom units. The bathrooms are designed with European-style fixtures, marble vanity tops and tub/shower combinations available in select units.
