MuraBella Celebrates Grand Opening of Residents Club and Amenity Center

MURABELLA - ST. JOHNS COUNTY, FL –

Residents and guest recently celebrated the grand opening of MuraBella’s highly anticipated Residents Club and Amenity Center. Themed “Summer Splash”, the event had plenty to keep partygoers of all ages occupied.

The “Summer Splash” event kicked-off with a summertime cookout that included hamburgers, hot dogs and all the traditional sides. A pool party with a live DJ played today’s biggest hits while guests were kept busy with an array of contests and activities including raft relays, splash contests, and good, old fashioned karaoke. Prizes were given to the winners of each contest and residents and guest were also entered to win one of five $50 Simon Mall Gift Cards.

“Our homeowners are absolutely thrilled with the Residents Club and Amenity Center,” said Rick Wood, President of The Wood Development Company and managing member of MuraBella, L.L.C. “The complex is the true focal point of the MuraBella community and a great place for celebrations and community gatherings.”

Designed by Jacksonville-based Basham & Lucas Design Group and The Wood Development Company of Jacksonville, MuraBella’s Resident Club and Amenity Center boast an architectural and landscaping plan that blends timeless Mediterranean elements with a contemporary Florida style.

The Schultz/Angelo Group was the general contractor for MuraBella's fantastic Amenity Center and its 3,842-square-foot Residents Club that features the most modern conveniences, including a spacious party room, kitchen, and a state-of-the-art fitness center. MuraBella’s awesome Superpool features a spiraling waterslide tower and playful mushroom fountain and water spouts. MuraBella’s amenity facilities also feature a soccer field, a softball diamond, tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, a playground, and a multi-purpose court.

Residents are never far from the First Coast's beautiful sun-drenched beaches, pristine golf courses, numerous parks and recreation areas, dining, entertainment, the sights and sounds of music, food, and culture festivals, and America's oldest city, Saint Augustine.

MuraBella’s six preferred builders - CornerStone Homes, Lennar Homes, McCar Homes, Standard Pacific Homes, The Vintage Group, and Woodside Homes - were selected to represent the relaxed, Italian-flavored lifestyle envisioned by the community's developer.
