Named "Mandalay Beach Resort," the condominium/hotel will feature a 150-foot center atrium with a unique water fall and twin pools, one on an elevated pool deck and one directly on the Gulf of Mexico. The structure, designed by Bayne Collins and Associates of Panama City Beach, offers 140 one, two and three bedroom condominiums with unobstructed, sweeping panoramic gulf views through some of the Gulf Coast's most dramatic architecture. The terraced building is fan shaped with wide sliding glass doors opening upon the Gulf beach. The 140 vacation homes rest high above a seven-story, private parking garage, affording all units an incredible view. Unit prices will begin at $279,000. Access Realty Services, Inc. of Panama City and Santa Rosa Beach will handle sales. Shelia Darby, Project and Sales Manager, said, "This is the highest quality structure we’ve seen on the West Beach, here in Panama City Beach and sales are very brisk.” Those interested in reserving units at pre-construction prices, can call the on-site sales office at 1-866--289-6060 or 850-865-9974.

"With its dramatic architecture, Mandalay Beach Resort will be the true masterpiece of this area. The location is ideal," says Frank Kovach, president of Resort Investments, Inc. "It is just three miles from Carillon Beach and the conveniences of a grocery store and village shopping. The property is only minutes from Greg Norman's Shark's Tooth golf course and nearby Camp Creek Golf Course. The site is only six miles from WaterSound, less than ten minutes from world-famous Seaside and its shopping village and minutes to the proposed new international airport. "

All of the units will offer bunkrooms for children or extra guests and on-site amenities include a beautiful, elevated adult pool deck with Tiki bar, a second family pool, a sandwich bar, an on-site deli and meeting rooms for up to 50. Mandalay Beach Resort will also feature a complete fitness center on the pool deck level 70 feet above the beach so that anyone working out can enjoy the beach and Gulf views.

The top two floors, which are over 200 feet above sea level, will be penthouses offering 10’ foot ceilings and the option of custom designs for the more discriminating buyer.
All other interiors will offer nine-foot ceilings with eight foot sliding glass doors, beautiful cabinets in three-color schemes and coordinating ceramic tile. All appliances in the kitchen package are GE. A linen package, all furnishings and everything necessary for immediate use or rental is included.
A parking garage, located beneath the building, will provide convenient access to all units with extra security and protection from the weather.

Resort Investments, Inc., through its subsidiary, Resort Interiors, has created a Strategic Alliance for the development of many area properties, and the company plans to implement this Strategic Alliance to ensure the success of Mandalay Beach Resort. "Consumer demands and increased competition make it necessary to ensure customer satisfaction in the development and sales of Emerald Coast properties," says Kovach. "I feel it is vital for developers, Realtors, interior designers and property managers to form a Strategic Alliance—a team approach that will maximize customer satisfaction with both the exterior and the interior of the development.”

Resort Interiors will play an instrumental role in the Strategic Alliance. All condominiums at Mandalay Beach Resort will be completely designed and furnished by Resort Interiors' professional design staff.
