BOCA RATON, Fla. – As One Thousand Ocean continues along
its path toward completion, many admirers of
LXR Luxury Resorts’ signature oceanfront condominium are
calling its classic, contemporary architecture a work of
art. Karen Lynne Asher of the
Karen
Lynne Gallery in Boca Raton
went so far as to state, “Boca
Raton has always been a home for
style. One Thousand Ocean has truly raised the bar; the
architecture alone is worth its weight in art.”
After
touring One Thousand Ocean with Jamie Telchin, LXR’s
president of development, Asher and Telchin decided to
co-host an elegant evening event that was held recently
at the One Thousand Ocean sales & design center.
For
the occasion, the walls of the model residence at the
sales & design center were adorned with original
contemporary artwork, providing a sampling of the many
exquisite works found at the
Karen
Lynne Gallery. Asher collaborated on the art
selections with interior, furniture and fabric designer
Nancy Corzine, who had furnished the stunning One
Thousand Ocean model residence.
“The
artwork was created by a range of contemporary artists,”
noted Asher, who has
been representing the brightest
contemporary talent for more than 20 years. Her gallery
holds the honor of being the sole delegation
representing the U.S. in the prestigious
Societe Nationale Des
Beaux Arts juried exhibit at the Carrousel du
Louvre in Paris. It was also named “Best Art Gallery” by
Gold Coast
and Boca Life
magazines in their “Best of South Florida 2009”
competition.
More
than 130 guests were greeted with champagne and hors
d’oeuvres from the Boca Raton Resort & Club (another LXR
property). In addition, they enjoyed live music as they
toured the model residence. “Nancy’s
sophisticated, cosmopolitan aesthetic, as well as the
fabulous artwork showcased during this event, are a
perfect match for One Thousand Ocean,” Telchin said.
“By
all accounts, our guests at this by-invitation-only
evening gave One Thousand
Ocean rave reviews,” noted
Telchin after he spoke with a number of interested
parties who had taken hard-hard tours of the building as
the reception carried on. “For us, it was a wonderful
opportunity for guests to see that One Thousand
Ocean establishes a new
standard in both artistic expression and luxury
oceanfront living.”
The
ambiance was carried over to Chop’s Lobster Bar in
nearby downtown Boca Raton for a special dinner, after
which many guests strolled next door to the Karen Lynne
Gallery for after-dinner drinks and enough art to
satisfy any enthusiast’s appetite.
One
Thousand Ocean is situated on a private peninsula
bordering the most coveted inlet in
South Florida. Surrounded on three sides by
water (the ocean and Intracoastal), it is slated for
completion by the end of 2009. Residences harmoniously
blend with one- and two-story beach villas and
penthouses. Residences average 4,000 square feet, with
terraces averaging just under 1,200 square feet. Floor
plans are enhanced with natural light through
floor-to-ceiling glass. Also included are private
elevator landings, fireplaces and two-car garages.
Prices start at approximately $2.75 million to over $15
million.
“The
understated elegance and remarkable artistic precision
of this building will be carried over to its public
spaces as well,” Telchin concluded.
