Margie and Graham Allen were just two of the attendees at The Strand’s grand opening Thursday. The 28-story Southbank condominium that overlooks the St. Johns River held a four-hour, invitation-only reception that was attended by nearly 700 VIPs. Invitations for the event went out to roughly 500 individuals who previously expressed interest in possibly purchasing a condo there and viewing the furnished models.
The reception allowed guests to tour a number of the building’s units, both furnished and unfurnished, and provided interested parties with an opportunity to purchase units as well.
