LAW FIRM ON DEED: Rogers Towers PA, Jacksonville
PLANS, DESCRIPTION: An investment group led by Fred and John Thomas, Pinch A Penny Pool Patio Spa's founder and current president and CEO respectively, purchased 0.98 acres of land approved for TalaVera at Island Estates for $1.25 million.
TalaVera was originally envisioned as a multifamily development with 27 units.
Bill Eshenbaugh and Ryan Sampson of Eshenbaugh Land Co. in Tampa represented the seller and Michelle Chenault of Coldwell Bank in Clearwater represented the buyer.
“The rule has been that if you buy waterfront property at the right price it will probably treat you well,” Eshenbaugh says. “They certainly aren't making any more of it. [The buyer] likely bought it as an investment, because it was price right, for a hold.”
