Tucsany Cove BLOWOUT

Elias Brothers Group Announces Close Out “Blow-Out” Sale on Remaining Homes at Tuscany Cove

Naples, FL – In response to the current real estate market, Elias Brothers Group is introducing new close out “blow-out” pricing on the remaining homes at Tuscany Cove to appeal to potential buyers that could not afford to buy this type of luxury home in previous years. The two and three bedroom homes that are currently available feature dramatic savings incentives of up to 10% off current listing prices on all single-family homes and Homeowners Association fees paid for the first year.

Considered by Elias Brothers Group to be the crown jewel in the company’s history of development, Tuscany Cove is located on a beautifully landscaped 78-acre site, and consists of 295 residences, including attached villas and single-family homes. With its convenient location near North Naples’ main transportation arteries, Tuscany Cove also provides easy access to all that the area has to offer.

“The continuing appeal of Naples, with its renowned beaches, golf and amenity-rich lifestyle choices, provides a consistent customer base for luxury homes here,” says Tuscany Cove Sales Associate Andrea Moran. “But these days, homebuyers are definitely looking for best value and highest quality. Given their history of proven success with a number of Naples’ most notable luxury communities, and their reputation for high construction quality, Elias Brothers Group’s homes remain in-demand, especially in the current real estate market.”

Tuscany Cove’s many amenities include the community’s centerpiece, a nearly 7,000 square foot clubhouse, which offers a fitness center, aerobics room, media room, ballroom with wet bar, card room and children’s room. Outdoor amenities such as a lakeside sun deck, pool with separate spa, kid’s pool with splash fountain, and lighted tennis courts allow homeowners and their guests the opportunity to enjoy the Florida lifestyle.

“Winter is when we see exciting sales activity, as more and more visitors decide on Naples for their primary or second home,” according to Moran. “There’s simply no other place like Naples in the entire state of Florida and its desirability remains extremely high. I fully expect the sell-out phase of Tuscany Cove to move very quickly.”

Elias Brothers Group has been involved in Naples area real estate since 1990. Their past projects include Victoria Shores at Victoria Lakes, Royal Villas and the Villas of Crown Pointe, Villas at Greenwood Lakes, and Ibis Cove.

Elias Brothers Group Celebrates 20 Years In Business

Naples, Fla. (May 6, 2009) – From its humble beginnings as a small, family-owned painting business, Elias Brothers Group has evolved swiftly into one of the most successful and well-respected contractors in Southwest Florida today. The company has been involved in painting, contracting and new construction since 1989 and is pleased to be celebrating its 20^th anniversary in business this year.

Israeli immigrant Roni Elias first came to the United States in the mid 1980’s to pursue his American dream. While serving as a soldier in the Israeli Army, he learned of the vast opportunities available in America for those who were willing to take risks, work hard and make sacrifices. After his military discharge, Roni moved to the United States and eventually landed in Naples, where he first worked as a spray man for a painting contractor, learning every aspect of the painting business, while his wife, Maria, attended classes to become a licensed painting contractor. In 1989, the couple started their own small painting business, Elias Brothers Painting, with modest means – a used van, second-hand equipment and simple, word-of-mouth advertising.

 

Their determination paid off quickly. By late 1990, additional family members had joined the business along with a dozen new employees while receiving contracts on painting new construction projects throughout Naples. As expected, something good began to happen - Elias Brothers Painting began receiving an abundance of sizeable projects from building supervisors who had come to regard the company as an organization that both listened to its customers’ expectations and delivered projects ahead of schedule.

 

While the Elias Brothers Painting business continued to grow, Elias Brothers Communities also became a premier real estate developer.  Elias Brothers Communities has developed, built, and sold over 1,000 homes in five new communities in Naples, Florida, which has generated over $230 million in revenue.

In 2007, due to the downturn in the real estate market, the company decided to put two of their planned development communities on hold until the market returns, refocusing attention on strategic growth of the Painting & Contracting Division. This focus resulted in a 30% increase in revenue for 2008. To support this growth the company merged Elias Brothers Communities with Elias Brothers Painting & Waterproofing to become one uniform entity, Elias Brothers Group. Presently, Elias Brothers Group (elias-brothers.com) is located in the new corporate headquarters at 3570 Enterprise Avenue, Suite 100, in Naples, Florida.

Today, Elias Brothers Group is in the process of actively planning and preparing for diverse growth geographically in all of South Florida.  Strategic growth plans include expanded services in high rise, restoration, and renovation.  Sales are expected to increase an additional 50% for 2009.  In spite of a challenging economic outlook, Elias Brothers Group is actively hiring the best talent to successfully grow their organization to be the contractor of choice in Florida.

“With a bevy of sound projects behind us, Elias Brothers Group will continue to build upon its past accomplishments and recent successes to expand our products and services, as well as enhance our market strategies,” said company president Roni Elias. “As this unique organization strategically moves forward, one fact remains true – Elias Brothers Group will continue to rely upon the basic philosophies and family-inspired principles that have served as its strong business foundation for the past two decades.”

Who are We?

Originally known as A.R.M. Development Corp., Elias Brothers Communities has been involved in Naples area real estate since 1990. Our past projects include the Victoria Shores condominiums at Victoria Lakes, North Naples, and two completed neighborhoods in the Crown Pointe subdivision, the Villas of Crown Pointe and Royal Villas.

Our first stand-alone community - the Villas at Greenwood Lake - sold out in less than two years. It was followed by Ibis Cove, the company's largest community to date, which sold out more than 18 months ahead of projections. Elias Brothers also has experience in high-end custom home building in some of Naples' finest communities.

With all of this success as our foundation, a bright future is ahead. Tuscany Cove and Raffia Preserve - the crown jewels in the company's history of development - are the first in a series of new North Naples communities from Elias Brothers Communities.

"A company is only as good as the people who work in it," says Company President Roni Elias. "We all believe in treating each other and our customers as we would want to be treated. We may not be the biggest developer, but we continually strive to be one of the best."

This company philosophy remains unchanged from the first days of Elias Brothers. The goal is to provide you with the best home buying experience that you have ever had through each step of the process - from your first meeting with the sales professionals, to your selections of finishing materials at the Design Center, through construction, the final walk-through, closing and customer care after you've moved into your new home.
