June 13th, 2017


Jimmy Buffett is branching out even further with his Margaritaville brand by adding a One Particular Harbour marina and community in Bradenton, Florida.

Minto Communities and Margaritaville Holdings today announced the continuation of their partnership with the development of a new marina and 132 luxury residences at Harbour Isle in Bradenton, Florida. Minto’s 220-acre private island community is located on Anna Maria Sound, directly across from Anna Maria Island, which has been named by USA Today as one of the 10 best “secret” beaches in Florida.

“We look forward to bringing Margaritaville’s fun, escapism and casual-luxe lifestyle to Harbour Isle, a community already known for its charming seaside appeal,” said John Cohlan, chief executive officer of Margaritaville. “We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Minto to include luxury residences at that one particular harbour in Bradenton, Florida.”

Featuring Margaritaville’s relaxed, coastal-inspired design, the One Particular Harbour marina will be located adjacent to 132 luxury residences. The marina will include 55 wet slips and 128 dry slips, ships store, and up to 30,000 square feet of commercial space with restaurants, entertainment and shops. State-of-the-art aspects will feature floating boat docks and an enclosed boat storage facility capable of supporting vessels up to 42 feet in length. Construction on the marina has begun and is slated for completion in spring 2018.

“The Marina Walk residences on One Particular Harbour will provide owners with walkable access to boating, dining and entertainment on Florida’s last private island in one of the most iconic Gulf Coast settings,” said William Bullock, senior vice president of Minto Communities. ”There is no other place like it.”
