ICI Homes Bringing New Swim & Fitness Center to Palencia in St. Augustine, Florida

Jacksonville, FL, September 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- ICI Homes, the premier North Florida developer and homebuilder, has tapped LandSouth Construction to build a new $2.6 million fitness center. The facility is the second fitness center in the upscale master-planned community of Palencia in St. Augustine, Florida. It is conveniently located near ICI Homes' European-style Bella Terra neighborhood in Palencia. The anticipated completion is First Quarter 2011.

The new Palencia Swim & Fitness Center will feature a NCAA Paddock Competition eight- lane pool, gym/wellness area, exercise studios, locker rooms, guest lobby and cabana deck within 9,050 square feet. Its design by Gresham Smith and Partners Architects features a casual Old World theme in keeping with the exterior architecture and surrounding environment. Features include a rough marble wall to create visual depth with handcrafted iron grilles, water feature backed by glass mosaic tiles, warm wood trim, rich dark millwork with exotic granite countertops, and a tall wood ceiling with Italian and French inspired lighting which enhances the warmth of the space. Says ICI Homes' President Don Wilford, “Now our Bella Terra residents in Palencia will be able to walk or bike to this new world-class amenity center. With top-notch golf and tennis facilities, miles of walking trails and a choice of family-style, adult and competition pools, Palencia offers the 'best backyard' in North Florida.”

Bella Terra, Palencia’s newest neighborhood, features four designer furnished models, representing the new European Collection by ICI Homes.
