Robb & Stucky, one of North America’s largest home furnishings and interior design companies, is currently installing custon-made furnishings for 184 residences of The Resort at MarinaVillage within Tarpon Point Marina, a master-planned waterfront community in Cape Coral.

Robb & Stucky will direct the total interior design for 184 two- and three bedroom units at the Resort at Marina Village, a 19-story building to be sold under both whole ownership and fractional (shared-use) plans. Some of the three-bedroom units will contain lockoffs (a separate bedroom and bath with a private entrance), providing the owner with the ability to use the larger unit and rent the smaller one.

Overlooking Marina Village, the Robb & Stucky-furnished building is scheduled to open in November 2009 and will offer all-inclusive luxury living. Surrounding the building will be waterfront restaurants, retail shops and business offices.

“We are very excited to be providing our unique services to Grosse Pointe Development,” said Dan Lubner, president of the resort division of Robb & Stucky. “To assist them at The Resort at Marina Village, we are designing and manufacturing a complete line of furnishings for all of the units, which range from 1,225 to 2,195 square feet in size and feature master suites, grand rooms, guest suites, private dining terraces and access to amenity decks.”

Lauren Hagan, sales director for the developer, said the Robb & Stucky-designed units will be sold as whole ownership for those desiring to enjoy the property year round or as a fractional or shared-use product for a 1/12th share.

Prices will range from $630,000 to $1.4 million for whole ownership units and will start at $74,000 for a 1/12th share. Both types of purchasers will enjoy full usage of the marina’s amenities plus all-inclusive hotel-style indulgences such as concierge and spa services, room service, housekeeping a resort-styled pool and spa and an expansive deck for sunbathing and relaxing.

“Since our fractional units will be sold completely furnished and to an upscale market, having the right company to handle the interior design work is an integral element to our success,” Hagan said. “We selected Robb & Stucky because of their impressive credentials, their experience with fractionals, their understanding of the share-use concept and the expectations of this special market. Also, they will be providing custom-designed furnishings specifically for our property, creating a type of ‘Florida chic’ along with designer accessories and finishes.”

The furniture and design company has also completed furnishing packages for dozens of condominiums and hotels.

“We are committed to providing the same high level of design and delivery service to clients located domestically or abroad,” said Lubner.

Created by Grosse Pointe Development Co. and under development since 2002 the 147-acre Tarpon Point Marina features a 175-slip deep-water marina, three luxury high-rise buildings, singlefamily homes, as well as coach homes with residences priced from $400,000 to over $7 million.
