Trio Naples Florida Trio Naples FL Realtor Janet Berry
Trio Naples Florida Trio Naples FL Realtor Janet Berry 239-450-1892
Trio Naples Florida is a luxury modern urban high-rise near downtown Naples with an exclusive private rooftop sky club.
trio naples florida
The nine-story building, simply called Trio, will have 12 extended-stay hotel rooms and 24 residential condominiums overtop shops and restaurants.
The sleek concrete and glass tower will be built at the corner of U.S. 41 and Davis Boulevard, just outside the Naples city limits, in the Gateway Triangle, long targeted for redevelopment. The name of the project comes from the pizza-slice shape of its land.
The developer, fittingly going by the name Trio Southern Holdings LLC, released the condominiums for sale in late July 2016, selling one of the penthouses almost immediately. Prices range from $850,000 for a one-bedroom with a den to $2.69 million for a larger three-bedroom penthouse.
The tower will stand out as the tallest in the area, stretching skyward to 112 feet. If it was in the city it couldn’t be taller than 42 feet.
One of the tower’s more unique features will be its sky club, modeled after rooftop lounges in larger, more cosmopolitan cities such as Miami and New York.
The developer is confident the sky club, named Club IX (for the ninth floor), will thrive. Spanning 8,000 square feet, the nautical-themed club will include three mineral pools, poolside cabanas, water fountains and custom lighting to help set the mood.
For residents, club membership will be mandatory, and it will be free for the first year. Hotel guests will pay a resort fee that will include use of the club. Pricing details are still being ironed out.
Construction is expected to start in October 2016, with a 14-month build-out. The project could be completed by December 2017.
The extended-stay hotel rooms, ranging from 700 to 1,200 square feet and including full kitchens, will be on the second floor of the tower. Guests will be able to stay for up to 30 days.
The condominiums, ranging from 1,600 to 2,600 square feet, will be on the remaining floors, from the third to the eighth. There will be four residences on each floor with luxury finishes that will include marble in the bathrooms, white oak flooring and quartz countertops.
With nothing taller in front of Trio, which will face west, it will offer unobstructed views of Naples Bay, the Gulf of Mexico, Gulfshore Boulevard and downtown Naples.
The project will also have a resort-style pool and spa in an outdoor plaza. Residents will have private parking garages and elevators.
Other amenities will include a valet, Wi-Fi, a business center and state-of-the-art fitness studios. There will be “custom scenting” in the lobby, giving residents and visitors a unique sensory experience.
The project will replace a one-story building that for many years was home to Union Motors, an auto body and rim shop, which has relocated.
Tony Fortino, the developer, with offices in Naples and New Jersey, has 25 years of construction and development experience. While he’s built other commercial and residential projects, Trio would be his largest — and his first in Collier County.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Maryland (US: (listen) MERR-əl-ənd) is a state in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, bordering Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia to its south and west; Pennsylvania to its north; and Delaware to its east. The state's largest city is Baltimore, and its capital is Annapolis. Among its occasional nicknames are Old Line State, the Free State, and the Chesapeake Bay State. It is named after the English queen Henrietta Maria, known in England as Queen Mary.Sixteen of Maryland's twenty-three counties border the tidal waters of the Chesapeake Bay estuary and its many tributaries, which combined total more than 4,000 miles of shoreline. Although one of the smallest states in the U.S., it features a variety of climates and typographical features that have earned it the moniker of America in Miniature. In a similar vein, Maryland's geography, culture, and history combines elements of the Mid-Atlantic, Northeastern, and South Atlantic regions of the country.
One of the original Thirteen Colonies of Great Britain, Maryland was founded by George Calvert, a Catholic convert who sought to provide a religious haven for Catholics persecuted in England. In 1632, Charles I of England granted Calvert a colonial charter, naming the colony after his wife, Queen Mary. Unlike the Pilgrims and Puritans, who enforced religious conformity in their settlements, Calvert envisioned a colony where people of different religious sects would coexist under the principle of toleration. Accordingly, in 1649 the Maryland General Assembly passed an Act Concerning Religion, which enshrined this principle by penalizing anyone who reproached a fellow Marylander based on religious affiliation. Nevertheless, religious strife was common in the early years, and Catholics remained a minority, albeit in greater numbers than in any other English colony.
Maryland's early settlements and population centers clustered around rivers and other waterways that empty into the Chesapeake Bay. Its economy was heavily plantation based, centered mostly on the cultivation of tobacco. The need for cheap labor led to a rapid expansion of indentured servants, penal labor, and African slaves. In 1760, Maryland's current boundaries took form following the settlement of a long-running border dispute with Pennsylvania. Maryland was an active participant in the events leading up to the American Revolution, and by 1776 its delegates signed the Declaration of Independence. Many of its citizens subsequently played key political and military roles in the war. In 1790, the state ceded land for the establishment of the U.S. capital of Washington, D.C.
Although a slave state, Maryland remained in the Union during the U.S. Civil War, its strategic location giving it a s ...
