JE Dunn will serve as general contractor.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The 290 luxury units will feature 10-foot ceilings and contemporary kitchens with gas cooking, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Marble and tile bathrooms are to provide five-fixture layouts, with separate bathtub and shower areas, double vanities and low-flow toilets. Units will also feature expansive windows, generous balconies and modern conveniences such as under-counter wine\/beverage refrigerators.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">GID Development states that the project will feature the largest, most sophisticated set of amenities in the market, with more than 48,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor features creating a resort-like atmosphere oriented toward health, fitness, relaxation, socializing, entertainment, private functions and a variety of regularly programmed events.\u00a0 Additionally, residents will have access to the Sovereign Club, which will span the entire eighth floor\u201442,000 square feet\u2014and include both indoor and outdoor activity space, ranging from a yoga studio and cyber lounge to private cabanas, a Zen garden and a 75-foot resort-style pool lined with palm trees.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">According to an official release, through a pioneering development agreement from the City and Tax Increment Zone 5, Regent Square and The Sovereign will be reimbursed for critical improvements to the public infrastructure in the area. These improvements will include burying overhead utilities, upgrading drainage in the area and creating wide, pedestrian-friendly sidewalks with mature street trees. Bank of America provided the construction financing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Sovereign\u2014slated for completion in March 2014\u2014is merely the first phase of the 24-acre Regent Square master plan, a 4.2 million-square-foot mixed-use project to be developed by GID Development Group.
