Crowley Group Breaks Ground At Legacy Trail

LEGACY TRAIL (WGV) – ST. AUGUSTINE, FL –

The Crowley Group, a leading real estate development company specializing in multi-family housing communities, proudly announces it has broken ground on its latest condominium community within the World Golf Village – Legacy Trail.

Associates from Legacy Trail’s architectural firm, JSA, Inc., contracting firms, ContraVest, Inc., and Florida Roads, Inc., joined invited guests and Crowley Group representatives to partake in the highly anticipated groundbreaking ceremony.

Representing JSA, Inc. at the event was Project Executive, Tom McNett.

In attendance for ContraVest, Inc. were Vice Presidents, Steve Ogier and Walt McCully, who recently completed work on another Crowley Group project, The Legends at St. Johns.

Also present at the ceremony was David Todd, Project Manger for Florida Roads, Inc.

Additionally, invited guests included representatives from Davidson Realty, Prudential Network Realty, and SunTrust Banks, Inc.

“Legacy Trail at World Golf Village will be the end result of careful planning and brilliant design work,” said Tim Crowley of The Crowley Group. “The community will be an absolutely gorgeous and remarkably unique creation that will leave our residents and visitors awestruck.”

In addition to the groundbreaking and start of site construction, sales are currently being conducted for Phase III at Legacy Trail, which looks out on the 17th hole putting surface and will become the center of attention for future PGA and amateur golfing tournaments and events.

The community’s newly opened on-site Sales Center allows potential and existing customers the opportunity to meet with Legacy Trail Sales Consultants, Judy Kashou and Tom Koulermos, and discuss their purchasing, design, and decorating options.

Although each floorplan has been designed for each homeowner’s lifestyle, they share several common elements. Great rooms with attached balconies provide you with ample space to relax and entertain guests in an atmosphere with a unique Mediterranean allure. Granite countertops, classic ceramic tile and optional hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, designer kitchens, and lavish master baths with relaxing, oversized tubs give Legacy Trail a refined and sophisticated style all its own.

With only four units per floor, Legacy Trail residents enjoy semi-private elevators, which deliver them essentially to their doorstep. Additionally, each building houses its own parking level, providing residents with cover from inclement weather conditions as well as much-valued safety, security, and privacy.

The Slammer and Squire golf course, along with the entire World Golf Village Complex, was designed to honor the great game of golf, its players, history, and future. Designed by Bobby Weed with player consultants Sam “The Slammer” Snead and Gene “The Squire” Sarazen, this well manicured course preserves the pristine unspoiled wooded area, wetlands and natural beauty of the region. It is a challenging layout that does not unfairly penalize the inexperienced player.

Legacy Trail is developed by Legacy Trail LLC, an entity of The Crowley Group of Greenwich, CT., with construction financing from SunTrust Banks, Inc. Legacy Trail is exclusively marketed by Prudential Network Realty; the leading seller of quality homes in Northeast Florida.

To find Legacy Trail, from Jacksonville, travel south on I-95, exiting west onto International Golf Parkway (Exit 323). Continue west on International Golf Parkway for one-quarter mile, turning right onto World Golf Village Boulevard. Continue on World Golf Village Boulevard to the end, turning right on Legacy Trail North. Legacy Trail is located on the left, overlooking 17th fairway of the Slammer and Squire golf course at World Golf Village.

Legacy Trail’s on-site Sales Center is open from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, Monday through Saturday, and 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Sunday.
