The unique corner location of the new building will not only give residents a beautiful view of one of Paseo’s signature lakes, but it also creates an area in the rear for a private motor court.

The Strata Residences at Mercato are nearly sold out, according to Todd Kendall, director of developer sales for Premier Sotheby’s International Realty. The mixed-use community has reached a 73% sold out inventory as of this month.

The Strata’s impressive spring sales come on the heels of a very successful 2012. Kendall credits several reasons for this, including an increasing demand for “move-in ready, turnkey units” as well as a growing appeal for the community’s unique lifestyle.
