Residences at Grande Excelsior
Grande Excelsior was completed in 2004 with three floor plans, each a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence of roughly 3,350 to 3,400 square feet under air; select three-bedroom-plus-den plans run larger. A secured elevator delivers owners directly into a private foyer, the guest bedrooms are en suite with their own balconies, and the wraparound screened lanai carries a built-in gas grill for sunset dinners over the bay. Each residence comes with two deeded under-building parking spaces and an individual storage locker, and ten private poolside cabanas with full baths were sold to a limited number of owners. Floor plans are available on request.
Building Amenities and the Grande Preserve Advantage
The building keeps its own heated pool and spa, expansive sun deck, outdoor grills and fitness room, along with a Concierge Center with conference room, business center and a social room with kitchen. Residents also enjoy the full 25,000-square-foot Plantation Club, and select Grande Excelsior residences carry eligibility for the private Floridian Club, with beach shuttle service to Vanderbilt Beach for members and their guests. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and the Ritz-Carlton, LaPlaya and Mercato corridor are all a short distance from the gate.
