From filtering up to 500 million gallons of water every year from the C44 canal to providing new parks for all Martin County residents, Storie has made their intentions pretty clear to help create a greener future for Martin County. Yet, this community concept is just getting started. Storie plans to be a place where people from all ages and all walks of life could come together, engage in common interests, and pursue their passions. Let’s take a closer look at the additions many might not know about.
1. Preserving and Protecting the Natural Land
Planning on leaving 55% of the existing landscape untouched, Storie intends to create a harmonious relationship between urban living and the natural environment. All of Martin County would be able to enjoy green spaces and parks, in addition to the preserved area, connected by thirty-eight miles of nature trails. Residents would be encouraged to life active outdoor lifestyles and spend time hiking, biking and more. Conserving the environment and curating designated outdoor gathering spaces not only would foster an appreciation of Florida wildlife among residents, but also celebrate the natural scenery throughout the community design.
2. Seek Entertainment at the Open-Air Amphitheater
Ideal for daytime festivals and summer nights, Storie’s neighborhood amphitheater would be a vibrant hub of entertainment. The amphitheater would feature an outdoor stage centered around a lawn and additional bench seating. The open-air design could provide a carefree atmosphere, as the amphitheater would enhance the area’s natural beauty. An array of events would be hosted here throughout the year, from local school productions to cultural festivals. Imagine young musicians showcasing their talents under sunny skies and families gathering for movie nights under a starlit night sky. Whether relaxing in a lounge chair or dancing the night away to live music among friends, this venue would offer something for everyone. Families, friends, and neighbors could come together to celebrate art, the outdoors, and create lasting memories.
3. Shop Along the Waterfront Village Center
The Village Center is poised to become a social epicenter within Storie. Open to everyone within Martin County, Storie’s Village Center would feature a surplus of local boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, bars and art galleries. Inspired by the beloved Downtown Stuart, residents and visitors could spend the day perusing local businesses and spend evenings enjoying fine dining with friends. The Village Center is planned to be located right on the water, creating a strollable promenade with spectacular views day or night. The community would support the entrepreneurial spirit of the area by celebrating local artisans and business owners.
4. Committed to Lifelong Learning
The most impactful way humans acquire inspiration is through learning. Storie’s charter school would span from kindergarten to twelfth grade, instilling the importance of education for children of all ages. The school would be located on 20.5 acres, maximizing space for learning and developing. Cutting-edge technology and design would be integrated throughout the structure of the school, as well as within each classroom. Yet, it’s not just in the classroom little ones will be learning. The planned community garden, farm, and butterfly gardens could serve as outdoor science labs, inspiring kids to preserve and protect the natural community that would envelop Storie.
