Channelside Developers Scrap Over Plan
2007-05-24 16:25:00 Two developers are at odds over their condominium projects. Fida Sirdar will ask the city council on Thursday for zoning approval for his third Channel District project, a 38-story condo tower at Kennedy Boulevard and Meridian Avenue.

A fuming Porro, who arrived midmeeting from a flight, said he was waiting to see plans provided by Sirdar to determine how his soon-to-be-built Slade would be affected. Read article by Janis D.

The collection includes 67 pieces in all, mainly doors and windows, from the home of Paul and Caroline Morrison, Jim Morrison’s grandparents, formerly of 314 N. Osceola Avenue, Clearwater, Florida. Jim lived there as a baby from 1944 – 1947, and as a teenager from 1961 – 1963 while attending St. Petersburg Junior College. More About: Connection , Rock , Roll , Connect

Buy a Beazer Townhome: Receive a Rolex Watch
2007-04-11 06:42:00 That is right. If our clients buy a Beazer home between April 9th to the 30th, they will give us a brand new Role x watch. As Beazer Home s stated, they’ll do whatever it takes to make a sale. They have inventory homes ready at the prices buyers need. Plus, they’ll pay all allowable closing costs. Some of their communities include Hampton Lakes Town homes, Sawgrass Village Townhome s and Seminole Isle Waterfront Condos and Townhomes. By the way, if our clients do end up buying a Beazer Home, we feel that they should get the brand new Rolex watch and not us, the Buyer Agent. There are many hidden incentives and it should go back to the buyer as part of seller’s marketing is sometimes built in to the cost of the home anyway. We believe it is time to turn over a new leaf in the way you buy and sell condos in Tampa Bay. Contact us for more details. More About: Watch
