West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL (1888PressRelease) September 17, 2011 - One Thousand Ocean, the ultra-luxury oceanfront condominium located at the Boca Raton Inlet, has commissioned V*Starr Interiors to design a new model residence. Based in Jupiter, Florida, V*Starr Interiors is owned by tennis icon and designer Venus Williams.

"Knowing that Venus' talents go beyond the courts, we contracted her design firm to present its interpretation of the unique One Thousand Ocean lifestyle," said Jamie Telchin, president of development for LXR Luxury Resorts & Hotels, "We are confident that she and her team, headed by Senior Project Designer Sonya Haffey, ASID, will deliver eye-catching interiors that will appeal to our discerning prospective purchasers."

Telchin also pointed out that One Thousand Ocean has experienced notable success with furnished models in the past, having sold them not long after they were completed.

"Located adjacent to the Boca Raton Resort & Club's Beach Club, One Thousand Ocean is a world-class property that has achieved remarkable sales success because of its premier location, modern design and proximity to the resort. We're delighted to be able to showcase our skills within such a prestigious setting," Williams said.

Having met Williams during the filming for an episode of HGTV's "Selling New York" in which One Thousand Ocean has a starring role, series star and leading Manhattan real estate broker Michele Kleier commented, "It's always beneficial to bring a talented, high-profile designer into a project of this caliber. Both Venus and One Thousand Ocean enjoy broad brand recognition, which is sure to increase visibility for this furnished model."

The four-bedroom, four and one-half-bath model at One Thousand Ocean encompasses 4,971 square feet under air with an additional 1,289 square feet spread across two oversized terraces featuring north, south and west exposures. The residence features a private elevator lobby entrance, 10' ceiling heights in select locations, floor-to-ceiling expanses of glass, as well as a private, jetted plunge pool and outdoor kitchen. There is also a great room, eat-in kitchen, dining, media and guest bedrooms. The master suite has an expansive his-and-hers dressing room with custom-designed millwork, and built-in Sub-Zero midnight snack refrigerator and freezer drawers. Appointed with a grand shower and whirlpool tub, the spa-like bath will be a veritable sanctuary for relaxation.

Residents who already are, or who elect private membership privileges at the Boca Raton Resort & Club, may access the resort's innumerable amenities and services at its main location (across the lake from One Thousand Ocean) or at the adjacent Boca Beach Club.

Currently 77 percent sold, One Thousand Ocean has a variety of one-story Residences and Penthouses available, as well as two-story Beach Villas. Pricing is from approximately $3 million to $15 million.

Founded by Venus Williams in 2002, V*Starr Interiors is a full-service commercial and residential design firm that works closely with Florida, national and international clients, from the drawing board through project completion, to create fresh and distinctive environments.
