John Knox Village of Florida, Inc. in Pompano Beach recently welcomed its first resident move-in to Westlake luxury towers. JKV resident Janet Anding was the first to secure her deposit at The Vue of Westlake, which is 15 stories high. The Terrace, an 11-story adjoining tower, is part of a multi-phase and seven-year project worth $120 million. It includes 147 luxurious lakefront apartment homes designed by state-of-the-art designers, from 1,277 to 2,346 square feet. The common area lobby on the first floor will offer several new amenities such as a high-tech projection theater, technology hub, art studio, spiritual space, club room, library, BV French Press – a bakery, coffee and wine bar, and Westlake Eatery – a fast-casual restaurant serving freshly made food all day.
The Westlake project has a collaborative team consisting of John Knox Village residents and staff, its Board of Directors, Moss Construction, Gallo Herbert Architects, Keith & Associates Engineers, EDSA Landscape Architects, Weitz Construction, BSSW Architects, Perkins Eastman Architects, and Clifton Larson Allen Financial. They all serve as key advisors on the Westlake project and the Master Site Plan work.
Anding has lived at JKV for the last nine years. She has done a lot of long-distance traveling, seeing 156 of the 193 countries in the United Nations and 228 of the 330 places noted in the “Travelers’ Century Club list, and as of last year, she has crossed the equator 48 times. While traveling, Anding never worries about the maintenance and care of her home at JKV.
“The minute I heard about Westlake, I was the first to put a deposit down,” she says. “I wrote a letter that the apartment had to be on the top floor, southeast corner. The first reason was I wanted that view, second was the covered parking, and third was being in the center of everything.”
