MichaelC 160 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 This is what is meant by Naked Investors! Purchase home, swim nudeComplex gives buyers chance to shed clothesBy RASHA MADKOUR The Associated Press June 21, 2008 TAMPA Free upgrades and paid closing costs not enough incentive to buy a condo in a sluggish housing market? How about nude swimming and sunbathing? The developers of Arbors at Branch Creek, a Tampa condo conversion, are hoping a clothing-optional pool will attract buyers. "We know there are people out there who will enjoy this amenity," said Christine Pirkle, director of sales for project-developer Eden Condominiums. "It's just become more accepted, and people who want this option don't have very much of it." She noted that only some Florida counties allow nudity on beaches. "Here, at least you have the choice," she said. The complex's Web site shows a bare-backed woman meditating next to a steaming hot tub, and promises: "You're going to be very comfortable with our dress code..." A second pool on the property will require clothing. No one younger than 18 will be allowed near the clothing-optional pool area. Pirkle has planned for tall, dense foliage and plenty of warning signs to surround it. "There will be no mistake that you are entering a clothing-optional area," Pirkle said. How soon the pool can be ready depends on when Florida's notoriously rainy summers let up long enough to do the necessary landscaping. The complex's 390 units run from $170,000 for one-bedroom condos to $385,000 for three-bedroom townhouses. Pirkle said one renter has committed to buying her unit because of the pool, but another with a young son is considering moving because of it. The company will pay to transfer tenants to a sister property if their lease isn't up and they are uncomfortable with the pool idea, Pirkle said.
