Here are some of the highlighted comments about Turquoise Place:Beyond its imposing scale, Turquoise Place seems to set a new standard for high-end high-rises on Baldwin County's beaches.
"I think what (Turquoise Place) shows is that Orange Beach is a market with very upscale accommodations," said Mayor Pete Blalock. "There's maybe one or two other projects on the scale of Turquoise, Opal and Caribe and Turquoise may be above them."
To say that the condos in Turquoise Place come well appointed is an understatement. Many of the fixtures and appliances dwell in the "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" price range.
Architect Forrest Daniell said the tower was designed so that support columns on the balconies could be arranged to provide the widest views possible from each bedroom. In some cases. the project's structural engineers had to reinforce certain floors to move columns that might otherwise obstruct the views from where beds would likely be situated, Daniell said.
On the 24th floor the Gulf-side views afford a panorama that stretches from Pensacola Beach to The Beach Club resort on the Fort Morgan peninsula. The northern view is equally stunning. While waiting for one of the tower's six high-speed glass-and-tile elevators, the northern tips of Wolf Bay and just about every roof in Orange Beach can be seen.
Among the common amenities are an indoor pool equipped with underwater speakers, a lazy river on the fourth floor, a steam room, sauna and a 3,000-square-foot gym that includes some 40 pieces of equipment, from treadmills to free weights. Outside, a Gulf-side swimming pool is under construction, and a lawn with grasses derived from a species found growing on African beaches that can be watered with saltwater has been laid between the tower and the dunes.
Turquoise Place's palette and subtle motifs are carried throughout the project from designs in the tile floor, curves in the drywall, the un dulations of the balconies, the curve of the dune walkover and the orange and blue arched pattern that is painted on the interior hall walls of several floors, forming a design that is best viewed at night from across Cotton Bayou.
While most units will serve as second homes, some will be rented. The first buyer to close on his unit, for example, has already lined up renters for the July 4 weekend as well as several other summer slots and snowbird season, Ramey said.
"This is a fantastic building that has all the amenities anyone could want," Daniels said.
