Tampa Condominium Development to Introduce European-Style,
Clothing-Optional Pool
Eden Brings South Beach Style to Florida's West Coast
TAMPA, Fla. (Business Wire EON) June 24, 2008 --
Eden,
formerly known as Arbors at Branch Creek, has announced plans to add a
European, South Beach-style, clothing-optional pool to its list of
amenities. Sales of Eden's 390 units launch this month with prices
ranging from $170,000 to $385,000. According to Christine Pirkle, Eden's
director of sales, the addition of the pool came in response to a
growing demand for properties that offer adults-only recreational areas.
While clothing-optional swimming and sunbathing has been commonplace in
Europe for decades, it's only recently become more appreciated in the
U.S. Las Vegas hotspots like Caesars Palace, Mandalay Bay, the Wynn, MGM
Grand and the Mirage have added adults-only European-style pools in
recent years. In Miami, topless sunbathing on South Beach and nude
sunbathing at North Beach’s Haulover has
long been a draw. In fact, according to the American Association for
Nude Recreation, the economic impact of clothing-optional travel
contributes hundreds of millions of dollars to the U.S. economy annually.
"We know there are people, including many of our current residents, who
will enjoy this amenity," said Pirkle. "Although clothing-optional
recreational facilities have become more widely accepted, they are not
always easily accessible to those seeking them. We see our pool as an
attractive selling point for those who appreciate having the choice of a
family pool and an adults-only clothing-optional pool.”
The European-style pool is scheduled to open by the end of 2008
following considerable landscaping upgrades to make the facility
completely private from the community's other common areas. Additional
privacy measures will also be added. Other renovations will give Eden a
decidedly more sophisticated feel. "Our renovations include a
transformation of the clubhouse into an edgy, chic, South Beach-style
lounge, and we are bringing South Beach's sexy vibe to the pool with the
addition of tropical poolside cabanas, lush landscaping and a
state-of-the-art sound system," stated Pirkle.
Unlike other clothing-optional resorts in the area that cater to
families, Eden’s European-style pool will be
its only clothing-optional area and will be restricted to residents age
18 and older. A second pool on the property will also be upgraded and
will maintain existing rules prohibiting excess exposure. For more
